From Michael Leapman
New York, March 17
The hand-drawn sign in the
front window of the charabanc
read: “Good Buy Charter”. It
should have been spelt differ-
ently, for the coach party of
25. who bad been expecting a
jolly day’s gambling and drink-
ing a gambling trip to Atlantic
City, were instead driven to
prison.
It was the culmination of
another of those police under-
cover operations which cause
such merriment when they arc
disclosed here. Good Buy was
the name the police gave to
a shop they established five
months ago in Manhattan's
Diamond District, on West 47th
Street off Fifth Avenue, for the
purpose of buying stolen
property.
During that rime, police say
they bought goods worth $2.5m
(El.lnri although they paid only
S 8,000 for them. The discrep-
ancy was caused by the fact
that much of the property was
stolen bonds which are hard to
sell and therefore command a
low price on the undercover
market.
After they set up the shop,
describing themselves as
“ buyers of gold and silver ”,
police said it was not long
before word of their willingess
to buy stolen property circu-
lated in tbe underworld.
They received a steady flow
of offers and propositions, in-
cluding one from a man who

Double loyalty in
constituencies
over Tory rebels
By lan Bradley
Conservatives in the constitu-
encies of Tory MPs who voted
against the Government over
the 20p increase in petrol tax
on Monday night yesterday
mostly expressed their support
for the rebellion while empha-
sizing their agreement with the
Government's strategy.
That double display of loyalty
was summed up by Lieutenant
Colonel W. A. Conran, chair-
man of Bury St Edmunds Con-
servative Association. Mr Eldon
Griffiths, the local MP, was one
of the eight Tories who voted
against the petrol tax proposals.
“I support him completely ”,
Colonel Conran said. “There
was very strong feeling about
the 20p increase in the villages,
but it would be quite wrong to
say that there is a revolution in
Suffolk against the Budget as
a whole. We all realize it has
got to be uncomfortable. It is
just that there are better ways
of raising revenue.”
Mrs-Nina Goodman, chairman
of the Harborough constituency
of Mr John Farr, MP* said :
“People here are beginning to
feel shut off by increases in the
price of petrol. One feels tbe
Treasury sits in London and
does not realize about people in
rural areas.”
She added : “ If bus fares and
prices go up, people will have
something to blame it on. The
Government will be a conveni-
ent whipping boy.”
. Both Mr Charles Russell,
chairman of Horncastle Con-
servative Association, and Mr
Philip Smith, chairman at Leo-
minster, said that they fully
supported the votes by their
MPs, Mr Perer Tapsell and Mr
Peter Temple-Morris, against
the Government, but affirmed
Lheir broad support for the
Budget as a whole.
.Mrs K. Anderson, agent of
the East Aberdeenshire Associa-
tion, where the local MP is Mr
Albert McQuarrie, said rural
areas would take a battering
out of all proportion to rhe rest
of tbe country. A local haulage
company bad told her that it
would cost an extra £340 a lorry
if the petrol tax was introduced.
Mr John Bosworth, agent of
Macclesfield Conservative Asso-
ciation, said that Mr Nicholas
Winterton bad spoken to- mem-
bers before deciding to vote
against the Government. He
said : “ I am happy about him
rebelling on this particular
point,**
But misgivings were expres-
sed by two constituency chair-
men. Mr Roy Writer, from Bod-
min, said that Mr Robert Hicks
had not consulted tbe local
association. “I accept his point
of view but I feel that anyone
who voted against the Govern-
ment should at least have put
forward alternative proposals
for raising the revenue.”
Mr William Podrnore tram
Leek said that he did not sup-
port Mr David Knox's vote
against the Budget. There had
been do consultation. “He was
elected On a manifesto. We are
in full agreement with Mrs
Thatcher.”
Some chairmen of constltuen- ;
des whose MPs abstained also
expressed misgivings. Mr Geoff- i
rcy Griffin from Bexleyheath i
said that he. was unhappy about
the abstention of Mr Cyril
Townsend. “If you do not raise
revenue from the petrol tax,
where do you get it from?”
he asked.
Mr Norman Jopling, from Fal-
mouth and Camborne, said that
Mr David Mudd had not con-
sulted bim before resigning as
parliamentary private secretary
to Mr Hamish Gray, Minister of
State at the Department of
Energy.
Committee battle : The Govern-
ment will have to fight its i
parliamentary battle over the
petrol tax increase on the floor I
of the Commons agai nwhen the i
issue reemerges in the com-
mittee discussions oo the
Finance Bill (Michael Hatfield
writes).
The increase is one of tbe
resolutions the Opposition
wants debated in the Chamber
rather than in the committee
room. It is possible that the
number of Tories wbo voted
against (six) or abstained (25)
rould be increased if an amend-
ment is called to halve the 20p
increase and the Government
resists. Leading article, page 15
Tax staff
prepared
to step, up
disruption
By Donald Marin tyre
Labour Reporter
The Inland Revenue Staff
Federation. (IRSF) yesterday
prepared itself for a further
seripus escalation of the Civil
Service dispute. It said It was
ready to withdraw up to 9,000
members from work if the
Government steps up contin-
gency measures to evade the
strike by tax computer staff.
Pickets are expected outside
the Inland Revenue's offices in
Bush House, London, this morn-
ing in an attempt to block fresh
management moves to evade the
effects of tbe strikes' at the
computer centres' at Cumber-
nauld, in Scotland, and Shipley,
in West Yorkshire.
The Civil Service unions
mounted a picket at Bush Housfe
yesterday after learning that
the management were bringing
corporation tax and income tax
cheques of more than £3*500 to
London from the two centres.
According to union sources,
12 senior management members
of the Inland Revenue were
processing and banking the
cheques as they came in.
The IRSF derided last night
that it would retaliate if man-
agement insisted in involving
regional offices in the receipt
and banking of payments nor-
mally handled at the computer
centres as well as chasing
defaulters.
Selective strikes continued
yesterday, including a stoppage
by 260 computer staff at the
VAT computer centre in South-
end
Lord Soaraes, wbo as Lord
President of the Council is res-
ponsible for the Civil Service,
travels to Zimbabwe on Friday
for a week-long visit to discuss
government aid. The Civil
Service Department insisted
yesterday _ that his absence
made no difference to pros-
pects for a settlement.
The unions expressed anger
last night that the Govern-
ment’s chief negotiator was
leaving the country at the
height of the dispute.

Mrs Thatcher negative on leak
By Hugh Noyes
Parliamentary Correspondent
Westminster
Mrs Margaret Thatcner was
in a decidedly negative mood
in the Commons yesterday as
she fended of persistent ques-
tioning from Labour MPs who
appear to be as anxious as thu
Prime Minister to discover tbe
source of the Budget leak.
Mr Michael Foot clearly sus-
pects that tire culprit is to be

ments of the Cabinet

£10,000 fine
for skipper
of trawler
A French trawler skipper was
fined £10,000 with £S00 costs
at Falmouth yesterday for fish-
ing with undersized nets off
Corwall on Sunday,
His vessel, the 165ft Cote
Saint Jacques, from Fecamp,
had been operating inside the
4,000 square mile “box” rec-
ently declared a restricted area
by the EEC for mass trawling.
M Paul Bellamy, of Yport,
France, tbe skipper, pleaded not
guilty, saying that the prosecu-
tion had been brought under
the .wrong section of the Sea
Fish Conservation Act, 1967.
His contention was rejected
by the magistrates who made no
order regarding the £6,000 catch
or the nets worth about £2,000.
Kite -flyers warned
Farmers who use high-flying
kites as bird scarers were
warned by the Ministry of
Defence yesterday that there
could be “ a catastrophic acci-
dent'* with low flying aircraft
or helicopters unless strict
regulations ace followed.

Minister that the leaks from
her Government would seem to
have developed into a steady
drizzle.
Would the right honourable
lady, he asked, enlighten the
House about the basis for tbe
inquiry into the alleged Budget
leakage?
“I personally, do not set up
inquiries into matters within
the province of the Treasury”,
the Prime Minister replied. “ It
is set up in the normal way by
the Treasury through the nor-
mal Civil Service departments.”
Jumping to his feet (the
Labour leader is remarkably
spry these days, now that his
ankle is restored to good health)
Mr Foot took it that ibis was
a normal inquiry Into the usual
leakage.
He pointed out that perhaps
the most serious leakage was
the suggestion that it would
not be possible to have a pre-
Budget meeting of the Cabinet
to discuss the Budget because
of the danger of leakage
Mr Foot wondered wbethel
the Prime Minister would care
to name the tea-time traitors.
■Mrs Thatcher replied that
she could never remember a
Budget which was discussed in
Cabinet before tbe Budget was
prepared. “Never”, she added.
Parliamentary report, page 9
director
dismissed
By John WItherow
A prolonged and bitter dis-
pute within the British section
of Amnesty- International has
led to the dismissal of tbe dir-
ector' Mr Cosmas Desmond.
A meeting of the executive
council on Saturday considered
a report into the dispute by a
special commission of inquiry
headed by Mr Peter Archer, QC,
the former Solicitor General,
and decided to dismiss Mr Des-.
uxond.
A socialist and Former Fran-
ciscan priest, Mr Desmond, aged
45, was appointed to the £10,700
a year job in May, 1979. He
had spent 19 years in South
Africa, where he was put under
house arrest, and left the
country after death threats to
his family.
He said yesterday that he was
“utterly and completely
amazed ” bv the council’s deci-
sion. * They have taken no
account about what has hap-
pened during the past two years
and have used me as a
scapegoat”. 'he said.
The dispute .within the
British .section started last Sep-
tember when Mr Desmond ■ de-
rided to reorganize the -staffing
of the office, made up. of volun-
teers and professionals.
According to sources within
the section, the necessity of re-
organization to 1 cope with _a
rapidly expanding membership
(numbers have grown from
8,000 in 1978 to 17,000 today)
was . accepted, but Mr Des-
mond’s methods were uopoou-
lar.
The increasingly acrimoni-
ous dispute ' led to an occupa-
tion, a ' partial strike and
several resignations. The mat-
ter went before the council in .
January, when Mr Desmond’s
reorganization was- supported,
but - tire council changed ■ its
mind last month and called for
tbe report
The crux of the matter is
considered to be the British
section’s rapid expansion,' creaft/
ing -unprecedented - • - strains
which have .soared '-staff - rela*
tions. Mr. Desmond believes he
has been, caught in the middle
by trying to' expand the grass-
roots membership while keep-
ing a highly motivated .pressure
group.

Electoral reform likely
soon, Mr Jenkins says
Named diplomat a
pillar of village life
By. Fred Emery
Political Editor
Vowing that electoral re-
formers: . tvill.. . achieve . pro-
portional representation by tbe
middle 1980s, Mr Roy Jenkins
last night said that the Labour
left could otherwise use the
present system to come “very
close to a recipe for an elective
dictatorship *.
Mr Jenkins also insisted that
proportional - representation
canid “ strengthen the ‘ moder-
ate centre 1 and provide a
government closer to the wishes
of the people and “enable, us
to bridge dangerous and grow-,
ing . . . pofitico-geographicaJ
divisions”. He. added: “What
•are we waiting for ? ”
•I* a speech to the Guildhall
banquet of the City Committee
for Electoral Reform, Mr Jen-
kins did not offer the specific
answer. It is, of course, to
get as many MPs elected linder
the Social Democratic alliance
banner as . to legislate, or
extract a commitment to legis-
late, on proportional repre-
sentation in the next Parlia-
ment.
■For the first time publicly,
Mr Jenkins indicated his pre-
ference for the West German
type of additional member sys-
tem, in which individual con-
stituency members predominate
but with “topping up” from
second votes for party lists.
Mr Jenkins did not go much
further. And one reason is ■
that the Liberal Party policy
is for the single transferable
vote system.
Mr Jenkins’s main purpose
last night was to inspire the
case far proportional represen-
tation.
But noting how the ability
of minorities to hold -.power
had “ greatly and unaccept-
ably increased”, witness the
current Conservative majority
resulting from a third of the
electorate, Mr Jenkins singled
out Labour.
“ Tbe dangers of such a posi-
tion, particularly when, as in the
Labour Party, it is fortified by
a determined move towards
caucus domination, rowards the
control of a majority of MPs,.
themselves representing a mino-
rity of voters, by a tiny and
tighter-knit minority of party
activists, whose pretensions
grow greater as their numbers
grow smaller, is obvious.
“Add to that -the proposals
for a single-chamber Parlia-
ment, and you are very "close to
a recipe for an elective dictator-
ship.
Having thus raised tbe spectre
for Conservatives, Mr Jenkins
argued that what was “less
obvious but still more damn-
ing” in the present system was
that it was “ unfair . to the
majority”, and not just minori-
ties.
Sc arm an criticism: The work-
ings of Parliament were
criticized last night by Lord
Scarman, a Law Lord and a
former chairman of the Law
Commission (tbe Press Associa-
tion reports).
He said at the Guildhall
banquet that the British parlia-
mentary system was no longer
representative of its electorate.
Either rhe two-chamber system
should be strengthened, or-
there should be a written con-
stitution, entrenched and
guarded by a supreme court.

The devolution dispute which
divided the Labour Party and
eventually brought down the
last Labour Administration
broke out again last night.
Mr Michael Foot, leader of
the party, is facing a backlash
from Labour backbenchers
against the decision taken by
the Labour Part;,- in Scotland
last weekend. By a two-to-onc
majority the annual conference
in Perth called upon the nc^t
Labour government to set up a
Scottish assembly with legisla-
tive and tax-raising powers.
Anu-devoiutionist Labour
MPs, angc-cd at the decision,
waul a full-scale dcb?.te inside
the party before the Shadow
assembly
Cabinet and the national execu-
tive committee gives any coni-
■flliimcnt.
The first sign of a revolt
emerged last night when Lhe
Northern group nf Labour MPs
decided to seek a meeting with
Mr Foot to voice their objec-
tions. Th« group is to have a
special meeting next week to
discuss tactics for mourning
opposition. One proposal i-; a
national referendum, including
England, Scotland and Wale*.
The last Labour Administra-

Brain death criteria
critic withdraws
claim made on TV
Ey Nicholas Timmins
The doctor who- claimed chat-
two patients who fulfilled the
British criteria [or diagnosing;
brain death had in fact survived
unreservedly withdrew the alle-
gation yesterday.
The retraction by Dr Ronald
Paul, 'consultant neurophysiolo-
gist at Walsgrave Hospital,
Coventry, of the claim he made
in the second of two BBC tele-
vision programmes -about brain
death, appears in a letter to be
published in The Lancet this
week.
■It came as the rwo consul-
tant neurosurgeons directly in*
volved in the cases revealed in
an interview with The Times
that neither patient fulfilled the
criteria and that neither was
diagnosed as brain-stem dead.
Both patients had eye re*
flexes, which have to be absent
before brain-stem death’ can be
established.
Mr Michael Briggs, consul-
tant neurosurgeon at the Rad*
cliffe Infirmary, Oxford, said
that in the case of one padent
he had written * Not brain
dead ” on the patient’s notes.
Mr William Wharmore, con-
sultant neurosurgeon in the
Coventry area, who saw both
patients, said that in the case
of the other pau'ent “ at no time
was he considered brain dead
and the tests were never form-
ally applied
Both neurosurgeons said they
had no idea from where Dr Paul
had originally got bis informa-
don.
Dr Paul said yesterday he
had made an honest mistake. “I
misinterpreted some data I was
given honestly and I took it at
face value without double
checking ir as f should have
done. I unreservedly withdraw
the statement I made on. televi-
sion.
“This new evidence has con-
vinced me completelv, and l am
sorry I even said what 1 did.”
Dr Paul emohasized that his
view remained unchanged that
even if brain-stem death was
proven sadsFactorily. he would
not say that was the point of
total brain death. " Other tests
are needed such as an electro-
encephalogram feg) or an
angiogram (a test of blood cir-
culation in the brain 1.”
Dr Paul's withdrawal was
-welcomed by Professor Gordon
Robson, secretary of the confer-
ence of medical royal colleges
which drew up the criteria for
the diagnosis of brain-stem
death.
"The two cases referred to
hv Dr Paul appeared to be the
nnly evidence to date that
there might be flaws in the
criteria. These cases have now
been discredited. His _ state-
ment reaffirms our confidence
that the -criteria are reliable.”
Dr Peel’s •withdrawal came
on the same day as two applica-
tions to the Qourt of Appeal in
London failed. They could have
provided the first detailed legal
test of the British criteria for
brain dearth. 1
The coart held that doctors
who switched off life-support
systems could 'not be blamed
for the deaths of two women. in
unrelated cases after assaults
that have bed to convictions for
murder.
The court rejected an 'appeal
by Rich arc* Malcherek, aged
33, of Portion,. Wiltshire, and
an application for leave to
appeal by. Anthony Steel ,aged
234, of Bradford, the applica-
tions being made on the same
ground.
The court, decided not to
hear medics J evidence,, in-
cluding evidence from Dr Paul,
that would . have questioned,

for disguising brain -stem death.
-Lord Lanrr, the Lord a Chief
J-iisdce, said that in the circum-
stances of those cases: “It is
not part of the task of this

code of practice ”.

scientously thjey could not be

The court's decision was
greeted with disappointment
by some of th e medical experts
due to giver evidence. Dr
Christopher Fallis , reader in
neurology at -.the Royal Post-
graduate Medical School, a
supporter o ftbe criteria, said:
** The brain death controversy
is going to be with us for the
nexr decade.
“ Sooner or Later a decision
will have to be taken in court
that the concept of brain-stem
death is recognized as being as
vadid a yardstick o fdeath as
the conventional ■ criteria of
death "
A decision 'by the court
“ would have made the work of
the people practising in this
field rather easier if we had
had some format! legal endorse-
ment of the code”.
One outcome of the whole
controversy is that the confer^
ence of the royal medical col-
leges is likely next month to
set up a working party to con*
sider amendments to the code
by which the criteria are
applied.
Professor Robson said yester-
day the items likely to be con-

providing that two consultants

Welsh in poll
against
nuclear plans
From our Correspondent
Cardiff
A public inquiry was
demanded yesterday after an
opinioo poll revealed- that 80
per cent of people in Wales
were against the dumping of
nuclear waste.
The survey, which was carried
out by the Welsh Anti-Nuclear
Alliance, showed that 62 per
cent of 4,790 people questioned
also thought the Government
should spend more oo the deve-
lopment of alternative energy
The group, which plans to
launch a campaign to link with
the forthcoming local govern-
ment elections, argues tbat the
Government has failed to con-,
vincc the public of the merits
of its nuclear power pro-
gramme.
Mr Peter Segger, chairman
of the Welsh Anti-Nuclear
Alliance, told a press confer-
ence in Cardiff that attempts by
the pro-nuclear lobby to con-'
vincc public meetings in Wales
that there were no risks
attached to the nuclear pro-
gramme bad clearlv failed.
The group argues that with,
overwhelming opposition to
burying nuclear waste in Wales
a special public inquiry should
be instil tiled under section 455
of the Town and Country Plan-
ning Act.

The Commission for Racial
Equality published a forceful '
report yesterday, which is being
sent to all local authorities,
advising councils to act swiftly
when they bear about racial
attacks. They should obtain the
details immediately and inter-
view the victims, it says.
The report, prepared by the
London Race and , Housing
Forum, contains nine case
studies of families who- have
been subjected to harassment.
One, the only black family on an
estate, has endured threats of
violence and even of death for
years. The father is frightened

report says.

Since^ November the. attacks,
-which included stones being
thrown through windows and
his windows and his children
The London Race and Hous-
ing Forum went into action
because of the council’s failure
to act and because racial attacks
are increasing. One of its first
tasks was TO deal with a com-
plaint about excreta being put
through a black, family’s letter
box. Tbat happened repeatedly
-and the group decided to
investigate.
Such incidents used to be.
reported to community relations
councils about once or twice a
month, it -said yesterday. But
now they arise once or twice a
week in {London, and places like
Oldham --and -Birmingham.
Mr David Lane, chairman of
the commission, said yesterday :
“This type oF harassment is
one of the -nastiest features of
urban life, today. I appeal to
local authorities to rake all
possible steps to stamp it out”
The report says that local
authorities have, the _ most
important' role of any institu-
tion in dealing with attacks.
They should develop coherent
policies and coordinate all local
agencies involved in helping
families. A senior hotismg
officer should be appointed to
3ct as the coordinator.
Councils should keep a regis-
ter of racial incidents and make
racial harassment a ground for
transfer.
The report favours the trans-
fer of tenants only as a last
resort and believes councils
should do much more -. to
penalize culprits.
Councils should consider in-
serting In tenancy agreements
a clause saying that harassment
will not be tolerated aod
should consider eviction on the
grounds of nuisance. Repairs
should be made immediately to
show the victims that action
is being taken and to prevent
the perpetrators from feeling
successful.

New delay likely on 16-plus exam
By Diana Geddes
Education Correspondent • ■ 1
The introduction of the new
single examinations system for
pupils aged 16 is likely to be
on the region they could serve.
- Under the department's pro-
posals, there would be four
main examining groups . for
England, with Cossec restricted

posed grouping of the existing
eight GCE boards and 13 CSE
boards.
. The Oxford Local Examina-
tions Board has surprised its
colleagues in tbe Cambridge,
Oxford, and Southern Schools
Examination Council ( Cossec),
one of the first and apparently
stablest of the proposed groups
set up to develop and administer
• the new 16-plus examination, by
its announced intention to pull
out of the group.
Dr Robert Lucas, a don at
Keble College and chairman of
the Oxford examinations board,
said yesterday that the . board
feared that there would not be
enough examining work for the
four GCE boards who are mem-
bers of Cossec, given rhe re-
strictions placed by the Depart-
ment of Education and Science
argued strongly for the estab-
lishment of only three examin-
ing groups, with Cossec covering
an area from the South-West
through tbe Midlands to' East
Anglia.
Dr Lucas said that under the

consequences for the Oxford

He pointed, out that all
boards were, likely to lose

At the same ' time^tfae age

The Oxford board feels par-

ber of its present clients. The
Government had stated that
although the new examining
gronps.., would be regionally
based, each school would be
free to choose to take the exa-
minations of a group outside its
own region.
However, in discussions., with
chief education officers over
the past few weeks, it had be-
come abundantly dear ' that
although there was de jure
freedom of choice, dc facto
there would not be, at least

APT failure
4 grossly
exaggerated ’
By a Staff Reporter
British Rail yesterday said
that some press reports alle-
ging that the tilt mechanism in
the Advanced' Passenger Train
(APT) might lead to coaches
travelling on opposite direc-
tions touching, . had been
“.grossly exaggerated
• An APJ- operating normally
<ir with ..a ^'faulty coach was
hwithim-'clearances - allowed be-
tween passing trains. Experi-
ence was that a tilt failure was
a rare occurrence, but pri-
marily for passenger comfort a
device had been fitted which
automatically returned a tilted
coach to the upright position.
That device would reduce
still more the remote possibi-
lity that at a few places where
clearances were restricted two
faulty coaches might touch if
they happened to jolt towards
each other at tbe same time. .
Children in
hospital
4 need home
comforts 5
By Frances Gibb
A radical approach to nursing
children in hospital whirl
allows parents and families tc
be present 24 hours a day il
they wish is called for in a bool
to be published tomorrow.
The book. The Other Side o,
Paediatrics, by Miss June Jolly
a leading specialist in paediatric
nursing, says: “For years >-
has been accepted practice K
nurse children in isolation troir
their families, their friends anc
their environment.”
But although each year rnedi
cal and technical advances haw
improved sick children's out
looks, “something vital is mis-
sing”- ., .
Yesterday Miss Jolly said in
London : “ When I first started
in nursing I was very concerned
to see how children were separ-
ated from their parents; and
changed from their ordinary
clothes into hospital clothes,
looking like little orphan
Annies standing bewildered by
rheir cots."
There were still too many
hospitals where children were
« shunted off ” into adult wards,
she said, because some branches
of medicine were . beewnut*
more and more specialized end
there was more new technology
involved.
Even where children were put
into children’s wards, many
nurses bad not been taught to
cope with teaching a family ta
manage a sick child, only with
the sick child in bed, she said.
A new approach to the way
children are nursed was vital,
considering that more than a
quarter of children in Britain
spend at least one night in hos-
pital before rhe age oE seven.
Miss Jolly outlines an h*r
book several changes that can
be effected within current cost
restrictions, including the
abolition of visiting hours for
parents and families ; the pro-
vision of brightly painted wards
with toys and goldfish and the
use bv' nurses of flower-pnm
smocks instead of starched
uniforms.
Meal times and bath times
can also be adjusted to be more
like home, she says. “ Why do
vou need to get a child up at
5.30 and give him lunch at
11.30? It is quite crazy. There
is no reason -why that cannot be
made more normal.”
In many wards children are
given two full meals a day.
“ Eut how many children
normally eat a meal with two
vegetables at 5.30 in the after-
noon ? Most prefer something
like beans on toast or fishfin-
gers. which is cheaper and saves
staFf time.”
She also suggests that
nurses work 12-hour shifts, as
happens in some hospitals in
Canada, so -that just two nurses
are responsible for the child
throughout the day.
Miss Jolly’s approach, which
she calls family-centred care, is
a fearure of many developing
countries, from which she be-
lieves not ooly British nurses
but also doctors and adminis-
trators have a Jot to learn.

From -Ronald Faux
Stornoway
Behind the public inquiry
into Ministry of Defence plans
to modernize the Royal Air
Force base at Stornoway lies
a larger issue of Nato defence
strategy-
The inquiry has been called
because of abjections by the
Western Isles Island Council
and entered its second day at
Stornoway yesterday with evi-
dence about work camps and
fuel stores which residents fear
could disrupt their lives and
take up valuable farm land.
But the wider question of
why Nato wants to develop the
'base lay unexamined in detail
and outside the scope of the
inquiry.
Some objectors find it hard
tn believe that Nato is prepared
to spend at least £40m on a
base that_ would lie idle except
for occasional exercises or dur-
ing rimes of international Ten-
sion and war.
The area of greatest interest
to Nato lies weff north of
Stornoway, above the sea area
separating Iceland from the
Faroes ; where about 250 Soviet
aircraft are intercepted by the
Roval Air. Force each year.
The Soviet aircraft, mainly
Bears and 1 Badgers, fly into the
North Atlantic from the ex-
panding Soviet bj--c on the
Kola Peninsula. Occasionally
the Nato radar screens pick up
a particularly fast-moving dot
which is interpreted as a TU 26
bomber, .codenamcd Backfire,
and regarded as one of the
most lethal strike weapons tbe
Soviets possess.
its stand-off missile has a
range of more than ISO miles,'
making it essential to have a
Nato base as near as possible
ro the area where it can be
intercepted. Stornoway is the
only candidate.
Although other RAF bases In
Britain are only a few extra
minutes away by Phantom or
Tornado aircraft, those minutes
are seen as vital if a Soviet
attack was launched through
that back door to the United
Kingdom.
Another worry amnng ob-
jectors is that a left-wing
government in Iceland could
force the Americans to auit the
Nato base at Keflavik, obliging
them to regroup on rhe ex-
panded base at Stornoway.
The ministry, however, says
it has received absolute
assurances that the Americans
would nnt quit the base, used
for interception missions in the
Iceland-Greenland gap.
Defence strategists also poinr
nut that it would be better for
Stornoway to have any future
conflict fought over the Iceland-
Faroes gap than to allow the
Mach 2 Soviet bomhers time
to get closer and perhaps to be
intercepted overhead.
That again is outside the
inquiry's scope, however, and
Mr J. L. Marshall, principal
planning officer, opened the
council's case yesterday by des-
cribing the local dangers of
upgrading the airfield.
There was no single flight
path, he said, under which few
people' would "he ’ subject to
noise and nuisance. Many more
people at Stornoway would be
affected than at oilier military
airfields in Britain.
The hearing continues today-

Teachers’ dossier renews
attack on spending cuts
By Our Education
Correspondent
The National Union of Tea-
chers publishes today a dossier
on education spending cuts
which, it says, provides further
evidence of their devastating
effects on educational provision
in schools.
Cuts in starring mean that in
manv local authorities’ supply
teachers will not now be pro-
vided in schools for the first
week of a teacher's absence, or
until a number of teachers are
off sick at the same time, the
union says. That could only
increase the number of chil-
dren being sent home
Thousands of teachers' jobs
were due to be cut from the
end of the summer term, and
in most cases the numbers were
well above what could be jus-
tified by the full in the num-
ber of pupils, it says.
The effects on the curricu-
lum were clecr. Pupils were be-
ing given less choice of sub-
jeers; there were more classes
wirh pupils of mixed ages;
remedial classes were being
cut : and some subjects were
being dropped altogether.
Science and modern '.'lan-
guages had been particularly
hard hit by big cuts in the num-

Empire — ritis Romanus sum —
is about to be revived under
the sway of the Treaty of Rome.
The new passport some of
the technical details of which
still have to be worked out,
will neither supplant national
passports, nor transfer the
authority for issuing them from
member states to some central
EEC body.
All that will happen is that
the present national passports
of varying appearance and
design will be given a common
format and the lay-out of their
contents will be standardized.
Originally, the introduction
of such a passport — firsr
approved in- principle by EEC
heads of government in Paris
in 1974 — was seen as merely
the first step in the realization
of the muen more ambitious
concept of a “ passport union ",
This would eoLail the aboli-
tion of all frontier controls
within the EEC, and their re-
placement witb a uniform sys-
tem of control at the Com-
munity's common external
frontier. In other words.,
people would enjoy the same
frontier. _ In other words,
in the existing customs union.
A traveller from a non-EEC
state, having once entered the
Community, would be free to
pass unchecked from one mem-
ber state to another.
The- impossibility of accom-
modating Britain's strict im-
migration controls within such
a -system was only one of many
practical difficulties which
quickly relegated rhe noble
concept of a “passport union”
to the cemetery of the EEC’s
lost causes.
Indeed, so attached do mem-
ber states remain to the Trap-
pings of political sovereignty
that even the apparently harm-
less Euro-symbolism represen-
ted by a standard EEC pass-
port was nearly snuffed out by
rhe demons -of national pride
and prejudice.
Member states argued over
the colour of the passport, tbe
languages in which its contents
should be written, and whether
the words “ European Com-
munity" should come above or
below the name of the issuing
state on rhe cover.
The jacket of the new
32-page document, it has now
been derided, will be burgundy
in colour. _ The European Com-
munity will take precedence
over the name of the member
state, but will be printed in
slightly smaller type. National
emblems, such as tbe Britfeb
royal coat of arms, will be re-
tained.
The descriptive data about
the bearer will be printed in
English, French and tbe tongue
of rheissuing state. A glossary
at the back will translate rbe
terms used into all eight offi-
cial Community languages.
Language was one oF the
most difficult questions to re-
solve, and some minor poinu
remain to be settled. The
Germans, in particular, are
loath to concede even the
appearance of superior status.
for French and English.
The British are to be granted
some flexibility in meeting the
date for the __ issue of tbe new
passport, which they want to
synchronize with the introduc-
tion of a laminated plastic card 1
with a machine-readable edge i
that will replace the present 1
page containing data about the [
bearer.
From Patrick Brogan
Washington, 'March 17
Libya-watchers in Washington
are inclined to discount the
danger that Colonel - -Gaddafi
will turn his country into a
Soviet satellite. They believe
that Libya may go the way of
Afghanistan ; that Colonel
Gaddafi may be overthrown in a
coup and replaced with a leader
more amenable to Soviet wishes.
The colonel is fervently,
.against communism because it*
is an atheistic, secular religion
I and antithetical to Islam. His
I constant differences with the
Arab Baath Socialist Party m
Iraq (now) and in Syna
(formerly) derived from its
secularism. :
He has no -wish to lose his
independence to Russia, and
relies on the Soviet Union and
East Europe merely as arms
suppliers. However, there' are
at least 2,000 Russian and East
European advisers in Libya,
Soviet influence on the armed
forces is all-pervasive, and he
is so isolated in the world and
among the Arabs that he is
forced to associate with the
Russians far more than is safe.
. .Colonel Gaddafi ..suffers from
one of the world’s best docu-
mented cases of egomania and
believes' that he can safely ride
the tiger. American specialists
are less sure.
The Soviet Union would like
to use Libyan ports as bases
for the fleet. particiUarly - their
submarines. They would like to
use Libyan airfields, and
-Colonel Gaddafi has steadfastly
refused them. A further source
of Soviet dissatisfaction with-
him is bis invasion of Chad.
The colonel announced some
time ago that Chad and Libya
would be merged. He believes
that the Islamic northern part
of that country is an ethnic and
geographic extension of Libya,
which he sees as the destined
nucleus of a greater Maghreb
Islamic state. The annexation
has rattled all the dovecotes in’
Africa and the Russians are not
sure that they want' to be seen
to be associated with it.
With Soviet advisers art ached
to Libyan military units n6w in
Chad, that-associaiibn.is ineluc-
table. On the other hand, from
the. Soviet .point - of view, Libya
is a main source of hard cur-
rency and, at least some of the
time, a useful card to play in
the poker game with Washing-
ton.
' It. is estimated here that the
Russians' probably get 10 per
cent of their foreign exchange
from selling - arms to Libya,
which - pays in dollars. The
-Russians can sell any amount
of equipment, and the Libyans
will pay for Russian arms going
to ocher countries, too. For
instance, Libya has been replac-
ing all the MiG' 23s that Syria
loses in air battles with Israel,
or by accident.
This is .rather like the Ameri ;
can . relationship with Saudi
Arabia or; earlier, - with Iran.
The. main difference is that rhe
Americans ,are getting back oil.
Those are American- dollars
that are paying for American
arms. The Russian sales ro
Libya represent a. net gain,- ana
-apparently . the > Libyans pay a
top price -for everything.
■Lastly, the Libyans s/sn sell
oil t<rEast Europe at favourable
rates, thus sparing the Russians
from helping their allies ^nd
allowing them to export their
own oil westwards at more
favourable terms.
The Libyans ; have accumu-
lated enormous stocks of Soviet
arras, 'far mote than other
armies of comparable size
-would need. There arc some
'alarmists who. 'fear that the
stockpiles are needed for the
Soviet Army, if ever it decided
to move into Libya ; but other
experts here chink the expla-
nation is simpler.
Ther . total Libyan; armed
forces number . about 50,000 ;
but : Colonel Gaddafi recently
decided to abolish the Army
and replace it. with a people’s
militia o£ the entire popula-
tion in arms; He intends to
have a militia of 500.000 by
the end of the year, and oil
companies have reported that
their workers disappear lor
weeks on end for training.
Such a militia needs more
arms than a regular army. Fur-
thermore, • standards of main-
tenance are very low. Libya
has 3,000 tanks : but no more
than 1,000 are operational.
These calculations are based
on the Libyans' performance in
■ the invasion' of Chad.
One expert said that the
Libyans use arras, including air-
craft aod tanks, the way an
American family uses paper
plates on a picnic. Equipment
is abandoned when it fails.
There is always a further supply
of tanks, lorries aod weapons.
The Chad civil war continues.
The Libyans occupy tbe north,
but Mr Hissene Habre, the for-
mer Defence Minister, still
controls tbe south. He pulled
out of the capital when Libya
occupied it in support of Presi-
dent Oueddei in November.
The fighting costs the Liliyans
cizht or a dozen casualties a
week, and that could cause
serious difficulties eventually.
There were reports last Decem-
ber of demonstrations m
Benghazi in which tbe tribes
there demanded blood money
from Colonel Gaddafi’s tribe to
pay for men killed in Chad.
The Libyans are said _ to have
put up a hatter fight in Chad
than they did in Uganda i.when
an attempt to rescue President
Amin ended in fiasco!; but Mr
Habre f s forces were the equal
of the Libyans. They were
defeated by numbers and equip-
ment. not hy the quality of the

West Germany denounces
British fisheries veto
From Our Own Correspondent:
Brussels, March 17
Britain appeared to be bead-
ing for a serious clasb with its
EEC partners over the future
of trhc Community’s fisheries
policy at next week's summit
of heads of government in
Maastricht in Holland.
la an attempt to avert a full-
scale row, the foreign ministers
were trying here tonight to
find a way of enabling Britain
to lift its veto on a fisheries
agreement with Canada , in
which the West German Gov-
ernment is keenly interested.
Herr Klaus von Dohnanyi, of
West ermany, gave a warning
that, if the veto remained, the
consequences would be “ very
serious and very dangerous”.
The Canada agreement would
allow EEC trawlers — in prac-
tice, mainly German ones —
to catch about 14,500 tonnes of
fish, most of it valuable cod,
in waters off Labrador and
Newfoundland. Inrreturn- tariffs
on Canadian fish exports to the.,
EEC would be cut. •. • . . ...
From Michael Binyon
Moscow, March 17.
The Russians rejected as
slanderous today American
accusations that the Soviet
Union was partly responsible
for the delay in ending the 13-
day hijacking of a Pakistani
aircraft to Damascus.
After Soviet Embassy pro-
tests in Washington last night
over an official statement
issued by the State Department,
Tass and the Soviet Govern-
ment newspaper fzvestia cate-
gorically denied that no. effort
was made to resolve the inci-
dent while the aircraft was at
Kabul airport.
An Izvcstia commentator Said
that the Afghan authorities bad
done everything they could to
ensure the safety of the passen-
gers in spite of difficult con-
ditions.
He said American “ inven-
tions ” about tbe Soviet Union
were clearly needed by the
American Administration "to
aggravate the situation ' even'
after the event and portray in
the most distorted light our
country's attitude towards the
hijacking of aeroplanes and
other such acts of international
terrorism ”.
The paper linked the State
Department charge . that ' the
Soviet and Afghan authorities
bad stood by while tbe hi-
jackers freely showed them-
selves at the airport with Presi-
dent Reagan’s accusations that
tbe Russians -were helping
international terrorism, and
called both lies and slander.' '
-. The Stfte Department -yester-
day ; repeated accusations by
'President Zia ui-Haq of Paki-
stan that the Afghan authorities
were helping the hijackers and
, giving them arms. “They (the-
hijackers) arrived with pistols ;
they left with machine guns”,
a Spokesman said.
A Tass commentator, also re-
jecting the State Department’s
remarks, said the Russians did
not control the air flights oyer
Kabul or Islamabad and, unlike
the Americans, did not inter-
fere in other countries’ internal
affairs.
Tass added that the Ameri-
cans were still harbouring a
Lithuanian and his son who
killed an air stewardess when
they' hijacked a Soviet aircraft
to Turkey and whose extradi-
tion the Russians bave per-
sistently pressed for. The
agency said this showed that the
United States opposed efforts to
fight international terrorism.
Third man mystery : The Paki-
stan Federal Investigation
Agency has said two people
were responsible for the hijack-
ing of the aircraft on March 2,.
but curiously made no mention
of a third person, who was all
along reported to be involved
in the hijacking (Hasan Akhtar
writes from Islamabad).
According to an official re-
port from Karachi, the federal
agency registered cases against
the leader of the hijackers,
Sa|a mullah alias Tippu (Alam-
gir as be called himself while
holding the passengers hostage
for 13 days)- and Nasser Jamal,
one of the hijackers.
The maximum- punishment
provided under martial law for
hijacking is death and one man,
involved in an attempted hi-
jacking incident, was sent to
r he gallows last year.

Sir Nicholas Henderson, the
venerable British Ambassador
in Washington, has been pub-
licly arraigned here by having
bis name posted on the board
of the exclusive Metropolitan
Club as an alleged debtor. His
spokesman in Washington says
it is all a dreadful mistake and
that Sir Nicholas has never been
to the club, although he was
given an honorary membership
last year. . '
The amount of the debt, re-
ported today in the New York
Yost, is $50.61 (£22.80). The
notice on the board says that
Sir Nicholas has been suspended
front the club because , of his
failure to pay it.
The embassy spokesman said
today that Sir Nicholas had re-
served 1 "a - bill" for a- “house
charge " of chat amount about
tiaree weeks ago. He wrote,
pointing out that it must be an
error, since he had never
crossed the club’s elegant portal,
just - round the"' corner from'
Fifth Avenue; — by- Central Park,
and the Plaza Hofei. No reply to
his letter has been. received, the
spokesman said.
Sir Nicholas first knew of his
public pillorying on the -'notice
board when reporters .. pfabned
the embassy ;to ask about it. At
the club today, nobody was im-
mediately available. to comment
on the dispute.

Britain is reluctant to leave
its troops in Belize after the
Eormer colony becomes indepen-
dent, as is being requested, by
Mr George Price, the Prime
Minister.
The British want to have most
of the 1,600 troops home within
a year from the swampy
environs of Belize,
Speaking on Belize radio
after announcing details on
Monday of the outline agree-
ment aimed at settling the
Guatemala-Belize territorial dis-
pute. Mr Price said he hoped
Britain’s 1.600 troops would
remain in Belize to guarantiee
security after independence.
In line with United Nations
wishes, Britain hopes Belize
will_ be independent by roughly
Christmas this year.
Until then, the Foreign
Office wants to avoid com-
mitting itself on the troops:
We will do what is necessary
3t the time.” a spokesman said
yesterday. “ We will not leave
Belize in the lurch, but we have
said all along that an agree-
ment with Guatemala would be
Belize’s best security.”
In the meantime, details of
the _ outline _ agreement have
received tepid public response
in Belize and Guatemala. News-
papers in Guatemala are accus-
ing its neaoriators of selling
its territorial aspirations in
exchange for a small Caribbean
sea channel, a patch of seabed
and access to a dirt-track
through Belize.
The Belize press, for its part,
sees in these aspects or the out-
line agreement infringements
atl Belize’s sovereignty.

US Armv
«/
denies its
germ test
was lethal
San Francisco, March 17.—
The United States Governmenr
denied in court yesterdav that
a germ warfare test, which had
created a bacteria-laden fog
here 30 years ago, had killed
Mr Edward Kevins, a wealthy
businessman.
Relatives of Mr Nevins, who
developed a fever four davs
after the test and died a month
later, are seeking about £5m
in damages from the United
States Army, which acknow-
ledges that 800.000 people were
exposed to the bacteria.
For six days in September.
1950. a navy ship sprayed San
Francisco with a bacteria-laden
fog. according to papers given
to relatives under the Freedom
of Information Act. Eighteen
people were treated in hospital !
for bacteria traces.
The Array said the test was
carried out in see how bac-
teria pimed from the sea at an :
American city would be dis-
tributed. Two types of bacteria
were used. One is known as
serraria and Mr Kevins, who
was 73. was said by doctors to
have died of serratia pneu-
monia.
Mr John Kern, a lawyer rep-
resenting the Government told
Judge Samuel Conti yesterday
that a different type of bac-
teria had killed Mr Nevins and
not the army bacteria, which
had been declared harmless by
an army panel.
The Government intends ro
call doctors and germ warfare
experts to defend the test on
national security grounds.
In March, 3977, an army
report, surrendered to a sub-
committee of the Senate com-
mittee on human resources,
disclosed that the Armv had
conducted 239 "open air’’ eerm
warfare tests berween 3949 and
39G9. These included the San
Francisco test.
In some tests, inert chemicals
had been used, in others live
bacteria presumed to be harm-
less, the report said.
This report, describing
San Francisco test, said the
navy ship had sprayed the
bacteria, named as serratia
marcesceos, into tbe ocean.
One hospital in the are 3
reported 11 cases of infection,
caused by the bacteria.

Secretary, said it was “ ver ^

Major Haddad warned that
UN troops in Lebanon
will fire if attacked again
From Robert Fisk
Tibiiin. southern Lebanon
March 17
In the strongest statement
of its iknd yet made by a
commander of United Nations
troops iu Lebanon, Maojr-
General William Callaghan to 1
day angrily denounced the
“ barbaric killing of two of his
Nigerian soldiers bv the Israeli-
bacekd militia of Major Saad
Haddad.
The general issued a warning
that the United Nations force
here would “ protect itself with
the defensive weapons at its
disposal ” if it was attaced
again. The United Nations iu
Lebanon, he said, would not be
’* intimidated by wanton and
brutal acts He added : “ It is
never open to me to negotiate
under threat of fire aDd ; it it
not ray intention ever to do so.”
Previously, under General
Callaghan’s precedessor. Maor-
General Emmanuel Erskine of
Ghar-a. United Nations troops
hardkjklv ever returned fire
even when attacked by Major
Haddad's tanks and artillery.
General Callaghan’s statement
today was intended as a firm
and serious warning that his
soldiers would no longer
tolerate being shot at with
impunity.
As a young Irish oFricer said
later in his battalion head-
quarters at Tibnin: “It’s a
great feeling ro know that
morale is going up. It’s great
to now that when some bugger
starts shooting at us, we can
shoot bac kat him.”
The general's words. came less
than 2-i hours after the Haddad
militia in southern Lebanon bad
fired shells into the Nigerian
battalion area of the United
Nadoos-controlled territory
north of the Israeli frontier. A
Nigerian officer and a corporal
were killed and ar least 16
were wounded. Two Lebanese
soldiers were also badly hurt.
Immediately after this bom-
bardment, Major Haddad’s
battalion observation posts
around the village of Parer and
it transpired today that they
used phosphorus shells in their
attack.
This morning, General Calla-
ghan appeared in Tibnin — only
a few 1 miles from both Yater
and Kantara, where the
Nigerians died— for a St
Patrick's Day medal parade for
Irish troops. But the-, ; was little
joyful in what he had to say.
From a smal podium sur-
mounted by the national flags
of the United Nations contin-
gents serving in Lebanon, he
read out — slowly and empha-
sizing every word — a message
which he had just received
from General Eitan, chief of
staff of the Isdraeii forces.
“It is with deep sorrow and
shock ” the message said, “ that
I learnt about the incident that
occurred in Kantara, where
Unifil soldiers were killed and
injured. Personally, I will do
a] posible to avoid recurrence
of such incidents which mostly
occur due to misunderstandings
or unnecesary provocations.”
General Callaghan, however,
was clearly unhappy about the
contents of this mesage. He had
decided to accept it, he said,
“ after much consideration ”
and while he thanked General
Eitan for his intervention
yesterday, he added : “ There
was po provocation and no mis- *
understanding on the .part of
Unifil.”
Tbe real reason for Major
Haddad’s attack yesterday was
almost certainly the increased
deployment of Lebanese regu-
lar troops in the United
Nations operational zone. Major
Haddad’s radio station, The
Voice of Hope, reported
American denunciations of the
bombardment in its news broad-
casts this, morning but spent
several minutes outlining the
major’s reasons for objecting
to the presence of a ebanese
force. They had been sent to
southern Tebanon. he said, at
the demand of Syria after the
recent meeting between the
Syrian and Lebanese presidents.
However, General Callaghan
appears ro be in do mood to
treat with these arguments.
This afternoon, two Lebanese
Army convoys could be seen
heading south from Sidon to'
wards the United Nations area.
It would not be an exaggera-
tion to say that there could
be some very dramatic moments
for Unifil — and for Major
Haddad’s militia — in the com-
ing days.
Mr Peres
objects
to U S planes
for Saudis
From Alan McGregor
Geneva, March 17
Strong objections to the
United States decision ro sell
f o u r radar early-warning air-
craft (Awaks) to Saudi Arabia
were voiced today by Mr
Shimqii Peres, the leader of the
opposition Israeli Labour Party.
“ This is. a very serious prob-
lem for Israel”, he told a press
conference. Tbe aircraft can-
celled out “all radar installa-
tions, giving the Saudi; a degree
of control over the skies that
makes life for ail countries ex-
ti-emely difficult — an additional
item in an already very tense
arms race”. . • •
If the United States wanted
to sell air c r aft to Sdudi Arabia
that country should first de-
clare itself for peace and sup-
port the Camp David agree-
ments.' -Policies ' should come
before, technology, . “ not the
other way round”.
He believed that a Middle-
East settlement must have
political agreement as the first
step.
Mr Peres, who expects to
head a new Israeli Government
after the June election, was no
less emphatic about bis coun-
try’s refusal to emulate Egypt
in signing and ratifying the
treaty on non-proliferation of
nuclear weapons.
“■Non - proliferation makes
sense when you have peace 1 *
,he said. .“But if tiiere is no
peace how_ is- it, going to help
you ? . . '
“ What are you going to do
with a country like Ira<L in a
state of war with Israel and
trying to build nuclear reac-
tors ? What -is tbe use of being
in the non-proliferation treaty
with Libya and other coun-
tries ?
“ We are -not ready to make
life easy for everybody around
us and be victims of everybody.
If people want' us to sign the'
non-proliferation treaty, we
want the very same people tn
do something about bringing
peace ro tbe Brea.”

Algiers, March 17. — Mauri-
tania broke diplomatic relations
with Morocco today after
yesterday's abortive coup by
two dissident officers, the
Mauritanian news agency, moni-
tored here, said.
Mauritania has accused
Morocco of complicity in the
coup attempt in which two
palace guards were killed.
The two countries at one
time waged a Joint war against
the Polisario movement. But
after an army coup toppled
President Moktar Ould Dadd ah
of Mauritania in 1978, the new
military Government withdrew
from its zone of the Western
Sahara and made peace with
the Polisario movement.
In a statement broadcast on
Mauritanian radio, monitored in
Dakar, it was stated that the
rebels had attacked the presi-
dential palace with the inten-
tion of killing the head of state,
the Prune Minister and all the
members of the National Mili-
tary Council.
Once this had been achieved
the attackers intended to send
a message to Rabat for the
Moroccan Air Force to inter-
vene, the radio said.

Honest poet who leads Nigeria
By Karan Thapar
Alhajji Shehu Usman Aleyu
Sbagari, President of Nigeria,
who arrived in London yester-
day for a two-day visit, was
elected 18 months ago, if not by
accident, definitely not by
design.
He was never a leading can-
didate for the National Party’s
nomination for the presidency.
But- other men, obviously
acceptable to the large factions
in the party, would have polar-
ized support and hampered the
election fight. Mr Shagari’s
last-minute candidature was an
attempt to bridge the gaps.
In a nation noted for its cor-
ruption, President Sbagari is
famous for his integrity and
honesty. He is retiring and re-
flective, a deeply religious man
and a highly-regarded Hausa
poet.

compromise candidate, he was

injured by an assailant, and tbe
doctors decide that because of
brain death treatment is otiose
and they discontinue it. tbe dis-
continuance does cot prevent the
original assailant From being
responsible for tbe death.
The Court of Appeal so held
when giving Judgment in two
cases raising the question whether
judges In murder trials were cor-
rect to withdraw the question of
causation from the juries.
Richard Tadeusr Malcherek,
aged 33, appealed against convic-
tion ai Winchester Crown Court
[Mr Justice V/lltis) of the murder
of his wife by stabbing.
Anthony Steel, aged 24, sought
leave Co appeal against conviction
at Leeds Crown Court (Mr Justice
Bore ham) .of the murder of Carol.
Anne , Wilkinson, by striking her
on the head with a 501b stone.
She suffered skull fractures and
severe brain damage.
Mr T. G. Fleld-Flaher. QC, and
Mr Anthony Bailey for MaJ-
cherek ; Mr Wilfred Steer. QC,
and Mr J. S. H. Stewart for Steel ;
Mr J. .J. Smyth, QC, and Mr
Donald Gordon for the Crown in
Makherek’s case ; Mr Smyth and
Mr J. 1 Michael Meredith for the
Crown in Steel's case.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
said that Miss Wilkinson was
taken to hospital and put on to
a life support machine in tbe
shape of a ventilator on October
10, 1977. On October 12 the
medical team in whose charge she
was. after a number of tests, con-
cluded that her brain had ceased
to functfon aod that, accordingly,
the ventilator was operating on a
lifeless ' body. The life support
machine was disconnected and all
bodily functions ceased shortly
afterwards.
So far as Steel’s application
related to causation the facts were
that, on admission to the casualty
department, Miss Wilkinson was
seen by a doctor who found her
to be deeply unconscious with so
motor activity, her eyes open and
the pupils fixed. She" was breath-
ing only with the aid of a ventila-
tor. An hour later she was
admitted to the intensive care
□nit. During that day she remained
deeply unconscious and quite un-
responsive. At 10 pm that night
the consultant neurosurgeon
found her ro be in a deep coma,
unresponding to any stimulus. He
carried out a test for electrical
activity in the brain, which proved
negative. The total absence of
motor activity since admission and
early fLtation of the pupils sog-
gested to him a devastating impact
injury to the brain. The cerebral
function monitor showed oo activ-
ity ; her eyes were too occluded
to allow caloric testing. The
nenro-sorgeon suggested that her
temperature should be raised and.
If by the monring her cerebral
function monitor continued to be
zero, they should declare her. brain
to be dead.
In fact, in the morning a cere-
bral blood flaw test was carried
out which indicated that no hlond
was circulating in the brain.
Several electro-encephalogram
tests were made during the day,
all with . negative resales. On
October 12 another electro-
encephalogram test was made in
the. morning, another in the even-
ing, both were negative. Alter
that there was a consultation
between the doctors responsible
fnr her care. Tt was agreed among
tbem that the continued use of
the ventilator was without pur-
pose.-lr was withdrawn at 6.15 pm
and at 6.40 pm she was declared to
be dead. In a post mortem exam-
ination carded out only 50 min-
htes later it was Found that her
brain was 1 already decomposing.
Mach of the cross-examination
of the medical men had been
taken up. with .suggestions that
they had failed to conform to
certain criteria laid down by the
medical colleges en tbe subject
of “ brain death ”.
Malcherek's appeat related to
his having stabbed his wife nine
times with a kitchen knife. One
stab resulted In a deep, penetrat-
ing wound . to the abdomen. She
was taken to hospital In the early
hours of March 27, 1979. Prelimin-
ary treaunenr attempted to im-
prove her low blood pressure.
Then the surgical registrar per-
formed a' laparotomy and removed
litres of blood from the abdo-
men.
For several days it seemed as
though Mrs Malcherek was making
a satisfactory recovery. She was
expected ro survive. However, in
the afternoon of April 1 she col-
lapsed, the diagnosis being a
massive pulmonary embolism. She
was resuscitated and transferred to
another hospital, ubere she arrived
shortly before midnight. About
two hours later her condition
suddenly .deteriorated and hcr
heart stopped.
At once she was taken to The
operating theatre, where she was
given, cardiac massage. The sur-
geon extracted a large clot of
blood from the pulmonary artery
and the heart scarred again spon-
taneously, but circulation had
been lacking or inadequate fnr
as .long as half an hour
and there was grave possibility of
of anoxic brain damage. She was
returned to the ward and con-
nected as a matter of routine to a
ventilator. She remained on the
life support machine throughout
that day, receiving intensive care.
!□ the evening she was unrespon-
sive to any stimulus save that her
pupils reacted to light.
On April 3 the doctor decided
that, in accordance with the usual
practice, die ventilator should he
dispensed with If it could possibly
be done. At first she seemed able
to breathe adequately, but towards
midday suffered a marked
deterioration.
On April 5 it was obvious that
the brain was irretrievably
damaged. A doctor carried out
five of the six so-called medical
colleges’ confirmatory tests. The
nne omitted was the “gag reflex ”
test. They all had negative results.
Her relations -were spoken to, and
the decision was mode to discon-
nect the ventilator. A supplv of
oxygen was fed to her lungs in
case she should make a spontane-
ous effort to breathe, but she did
not and was Certified dead at
5. it) pm.
His Lordship said that the pre-
sent was not the occasion for anv ‘
10 Mrh3t constituted
‘J" odern , techniques had un-
doubtedly resulted In the blurring
or many of the traditional and con-
vcntional concept: of death. A
person’s heart could now be
removed altogether without death
supervening; machines kept rhe
blood circulating through the ves-
scls of the body uadi a new heart
could be implanted in the patient.
There was, it seemed, a body of
opinion in the medical profession
that rhere was only one true test
of death, namely, the irreversible
death of the Main stem, which
controlled the basic functions of
the body such as breathing. .When
thar occurred it was said that tha
bodv had died even though by
mechanical means the lungs weie
being caused to operate and some
circulation of blood was fairing
place.
Their Lordships had been asked
to admit evidence that in each Of
the cases the medical nnen can-
cernsd had not compiled with all
ih* suggested criteria for establish-
ing such brain death, inleed,
further evidence suggested that the
criteria or tests were not in them-
selves stringent eoougn.
However, in each case there was
no doubt that .whatever test was
applied the victim nad died. APQjy-
ing the traditional test, all bodily
fu fictions — breathing, heart beat,
brain function— had come to an
end at the latest, soon arter the
ventilator had been disconnected.
The question posed for argument
to the court was whether the judge
in each case was right to withdraw
from the jury the question of
causation. Was he right to rule
that there was no evidence on
which the jury could conclude Jat
the assailant did not cause ths
death of the victim ?
The submissions of Mr Field-
Fisher and Mr Steer were that the
doctors, by switching off the ven-
tilator and life support machine,
were the cause of death, or, more
accurately, there was evidence
which the jury should have been
allowed to consider that the doc-
tors and not the assailant in each
case might have been the cause
of death.
In each case it was clear that
the initial assanlt was the cause .
of the grave head injury in tbe _
one case and the massive abdo-
minal haemorrhage in the other.
In each case the initial assault
was the reason for the medical -
treatment being necessary. In k
each case the medical treatment
given was normal and conven-
donaL At some stage tbe doctors
had to decide when treatment had
become otiose. That decision was
reached in each case.
It was no part of the court’s
task to inquire whether the cri-
teria of the royal medical colleges'
confirmatory tests were a satisfac-
tory code of practice, nor whether
the doctors in either case were
justified in omitting one or more
of the so-called confirmatory
tests. Tbe doctors were not on
trial, the applicant and appellant
were.
In R V Smith (119591 2 QB 3S,
42-3) Lord Parker said: “ It seems
to the court that if at the time
of death the original wound is
still an operating cause and a sub-
stantial cause, then the death can
properly be said to be the result
of the wound, albeit that some
other cause of death is also oper-
ating . . . only if the second cause
3s so overwhelming as to make the
original wound merely pare cf the
history can it be said that the
death does not flow from the
wound
If a choice had to be mode
between Smith and the previous
case of K u Jordan K1956) 40 Cr
App R 152i, which their Lordships
did not believe since Jordan was
a very special case, then Smith ■was
to be preferred.
In the present cases there was
no evidence that, at the time of
conventional death, after the life
support machinery had ben dis-
connected, the original wound er
injury was other than a continuing
operating and substantial cause of
The death of the victim— although
it could be added that it did not
need to be substantial to render
the assailant guilty.
There might be occasions, .
although they would be rare, .
when the original injury ceased
to be an operating cause ar aii.
In the ordinary case, if the treat-
ment was given hona fide by a
competent and careful medical
practitioner, then evidence would .
not be admissible to show that
the trearment would not have .
been administered in the same
way by another medical officer.
In' other words, the fact that the
victim had died despite or be-
cause of the medical treatment
for rhe initial injury — given by
careful and skilled medical prac-
titioners — would not exonerate
the original assailant from respon-
sibility for the dearh.
So far as the grounds of appeal -
in each case related to the direc-
tion given on causation, that
ground failed.
Tbe evidence which it was
sought to adduce. If received,
could under no circumstances
afford any ground for allow-
ing the appeal. The reason
was that nothing which any
of the medical men could say
would alrer the fact that, in efth
case, the assailant's action con-
tinued to be an operating cause
of the death. Nothing they could
say would provide any grounds ;
for a jury concluding that the ;
assailant in either case might not ;
have caused ilic death. The
farthest to which their proposed
evidence went was tn suggest that 1
t?.e criteria or confirmatory tests
were not sufficiently stringent, and
that .in the present cases, they ./
were in certain matters Inade- •
quaceiy fulfilled or carried our. Jr
was no part of the court's function
in ihe presenr circumstances to
pronounce on those matters, nor
was it a function of either jury- ■

did not prevent the person wt.o r
had inflicted the initial injury
from being responsible for the -
victim’s death even if the medical

sion discontinued the treatment. .
Discontinuance of the treatment in •
those circumstances did not. as v
Jt was sometimes put. break the .
chain of causation between the •

Belize will bring benefits not only
to Belize bur to Guatemala, Lord
Carrington. Secretary of State for
Foreign and. Commonwealth
Affairs, said in a statement.
Lord Carrington said: Following
the recent ministerial talks in Lon-
don between her Majesty’s Govern-
ment and the Government of
Guatemala, at which the Premier
of Belize and two of his cabinet
colleagues were present, heads of
agreement were signed on March
11 on tire basis of which a full
settlement is to be negotiated be-
tween the United Kingdom and
Guatemala.
This settlement will end the con-
troversy that has existed between
the two countries for well over 100
years over the territory of Belize.
The beads of agreement, which
were published last night, repre-
sent a significant advance. They
•provide the framework for a soin-
cion to this long-standing problem
which all concerned can regard as
just and honourable.
Settlement of the controversy
will bring great benefits to Belize,
:he safeguarding of whose interests
ms been our concern throughout
he negotiations. Under the terms
-f the treaties which we shall now
legotiate the Guatemalan terri-
oria! claim will be ended arid
JeJ ire’s future security will there-
’nrt be assured. Guatemala will
recognize the independent state of
Belize within its prisrtng frontiers
on tbe day of Independence.
Guatemala will also benefit. It
will be assured permanent and un-
impeded access to the Caribbean;
the use and enjoyment of the Kan-
guana and Sapodilla cays, the two
southern-most groups of very
small islands on the B elizean bar-
rier reef; and rights in areas of the
sea adjacent to the cays, as may be
agreed.
Other provisions win be
mutually beneficial: They indnde
free port facilities for Guatemala
in Belize and for Belize in Guate-
mala; completion of roads; facili-
ties for oil pipelines; agreements
on pollution control, navigation
and fitting; joint exploration end
exploitation of minerals in areas of
tbe sea bed and continental shelf
to be agreed; development projects
and security cooperation.
The heads of agreement repre-
sent a commitment on all sides to
negotiate in good faith the legal
instruments which will provide for
a full, honourable and permanent
setlement- I pay tribute to the
i magi nation and tfexdnlfey shown
by the Belizean delegation as well
as the Guatemalan Government in
the talks which have enabled us to
lake this major step forward.
I am confident that with continu-
ing good wifi and understanding a
final settlement can be negotiated
successfully over the coming
months.
No decision yet taken on
future of British troops
Lord Goronwy-Roberts, Opposition statement in the Commons.
spokesman oa foreign and Com-
monwealth .Affairs (Lab) : It is an
encouraging statement and I am
glad to congratulate him on a sub-
stantial achievement. A settlement
will help to maintain the peace and
stability of this crucial area, espe-
cially in the face of Cuban adven-
turism. lc is in the interests of
central America as a whole that
there should be this new evidence
of stability id that area.
Nevertheless. Belize will no
doobr wish to have guarantees for
the future. One of them might be
the continuance of the sophisti-
cated British military presence iu
that conntiy-
Tbe Opposition would hope that
any such presence might not be
unduly prolonged. It involves 1,600
troops and a high level of technical
support and costs some £26m.
Even mare important in the
taMUum and longer term is that the
Government should be as generous
31 possible in the aid it will extend
io the newly independent country
of Belize.
I imagine that, since the security
of Belize is now on the face of it
secure, the troops will be shortly
withdrawn, even if the Beliie Gov-
ernment would in general like
diem to stay.
Lmd Carrington : The territorial
integritv of Belize is maintained
and preserved by these beads of
agreement. Tbe security of Belize
has been one of our primary con-
cerns.
It will be discussed at the consti-
tutional corference. but the nature
of this agreement will perhaps
make the need rather different
from what it would have been bad
there not been an agreement.
I saw tie Foreign Minister of
Mexico here last week. The Mexi-
cans have always been on record as
accepting the rights of Belize to
j elf -deter min ation. They have
always voted at tbe United Nations
n favour of the independence of
3etue. l know they will approve
agreement. , , ,
It is too early (he added later)
a decide the future of the security
orces in Belize.
kfter Mr Nicholas Ridley, Minister
)f State for Foreign and Common-
wealth Affairs, had repeated the

spokesman on foreign affairs,
( Chest er-le-S tree t. Lab) said; We
welcome the heads of agreement in.
the hope it will aid the long-run-
ning dispute between Britain and
Guatemala over Belize and enable
Belize at last to take its place as an
independent nation.
Does tbe freedom of transit
given to Guatemala oii ' the two
roads through Belize to the Guate-
mala border apply to military
transport? ,
Mr Ridley: The freedom of transit
is for commercial traffic only.
There is no concession for mfli-
tary traffic along those roads.
Mr Edward Rowlands (Merthyr
Tydfil, Lab); It woold be a good
idea for tbe British troops to with-
draw slowly so that we can be sure
the settlement will stick.
Mr RUDev: We must discuss it with
tbe Belizeans before we can make
precise predictions about troop
strength.
Whatever happens (be said) we
will help the Belize defence force
tb impove its capability with train-
ing equipment of all sorts so that it
can become a credible force in tbe
defence of Belize.
Dr Maurice Miller (East Kilbride,
Lab): Congratulations which are
other than mild are premature
considering we are dealing with a
dictator -whose country i s arm ed to
the teeth. The situation which has
previously applied in Belize _ has
been kept calm because of British
troops. '•
In a situation like this, where
there is going to be a great consti-
tutional change, the people or
Belize should be consulted.
Would it not be a good plan to
have a referendum under impartial
supervision to ascertain the views
of the people? .
Mr Ridley : It is only 53 months
since the Governent of Belize was
reelected convincingly on a fuB
mandate to proceed to independ-
ence come waht may.
I accept we have not got to the
end of the road and things might
go wrong. By far the best solution
is to have a good relationship be-
tween Belize and Guatemala: it
tween Belize — -
must be infinitely better than
going to indpenendence

Matter of
honour
not to go
on strike
Civil service pay and local autho-
rity pay was 50 per cent higher
than two years ago which showed
that the Government hod tried to
give public service workers a fair
deal, Mrs Margaret Tbatrber, tire
Prime Minister, said during
Questions.
Mr Detubore Dover (Choriey, C)
asked : Will all the civil servants
taking pert in the current strike
lose their pay for the days they
are on strike.
Mra Thatcher r People in the Civil
Service are not paid for days when
they are on strike.
Mr Robert AdJey (Christchurch
and Lymington, C) Many of my
constituents feel she Civil Service
are neither underpaid nor lack job
security. Would she redouble her
efforts to review tiie -manpower
levels in every department in
central government ?
Mrs Thatcher : Hie pay of the
Civil 'Service and those in local
government is now m money terms
about 50 per cent above what a
was two years ago.
That shows that Government
has tried to give those who work
in the public services a fair deaL
On manponei levels; we have
announced we wash to get the Civil
Service down to the lowest post-
war level • of 630,000. We shall
pursue that objective vigorously.
Mr Michael Nenbert (Havering
Romford, Cl: In view of the con-
tinuing disruption by civil ser-
vants, has tiie Prime Minister
readied any condoston about the
statement made by the strike
co-ordinator 10 days ago iftnt it
was intended to damage economic
strategy and reduce the country's
defence capability ?
Does ooc that go' beyond a pay
strike and threaten democratic
government itself and argue foe
tbe negotiation of a non-strike
clause.
Mrs TfMfrhpr : We would regard
these matters very serioudy
indeed. Sometimes I have
suggested that we have a no-strike
agreement.
We really believe in key matters
of this kind it should be a matter
of honour that there should be no
strike and a special negotiated
agreement about it
PM rejects
economic
sanctions
Mrs Margaret Thatcher, the Prime
Minister, declined a request to
support m a nda t ory economic sanc-
tions against South Africa in sup-
port of independence for Namibia.
Mr Robert Hughes (Aberdeen,
North, Lab) had asked in her
discissions with President Shag art
of Nigeria, will she give an under-
taking that when Namibia’s case
comes before the Security Council
the British, Government will sup-
port mandatory economic sanc-
tions against South Africa.
Mrs Thatcher : I can give no such
undertaking. The British Govern-
ment will continue to work in the
usual ways in which representa-
tives work with our partners for
a settlement of Namibia so that
Namibia became property indepen-
dent with proper elections and a
free ballot.
Tbe Government did not envisage
the operation of the West's pro-
posed' rapid deployment force
without the foil support of and at
tiie request of those states con-
cerned, Mr John Nott, Secretary of
Slate for Defence, said.
This .would be a common ven-
twe, he explained, for the defence
of countries threatened by aggres-
sion and its deployment would
have to be by agreement and after
consultation.
Mr Nott (Sc Ives,- C) had safd In
reply to requests for a statement
on tiie force British defence activ-
ity outside tiie Nato area alms to
help marnfafn stability primarily
by the provision of training anH
assistance, participation in joint
exer da c s and the supply of defence
equipment.
In addition, British armed forces
are already available to fake mili-
tary action In an emergency by
rapid deployment overseas-
In concert, with . other allies,
principally the United States, we
are ready, where our assistance Is
sought to make a modest use of
force to protect tbe interests of
-friendly local states and' of the
West in strategic regions.
In my discussions last week with
tiie US Secretary of Defence about
the US plans for a rapid deploy-
ment force, I made it dear that we
wiH give fun su p por t to tiie United
States.
We are also ready to undertake
national tasks such as the rein-
forcement of British dependent
territories or tbe protection of
British citizens overseas.
Mr John Stokes (Halesowen and
Stourbridge. C): What sort of
forces could be deployed -in a rapid
deployment force.
Mr Note On our side, we already
have a spearhead battalion, as it is
called— the First Battalion, Chesh-
ire Regiment, and, in two weeks’
time, the Royal Regiment of
Wales, which is an 72 hoars*
notice. '
We have enough VClOs and
Hercules to Hft them quickly to
any necessary part of the world.
We have farther units from the
8th Field Force stationed here;
that Includes among other units
the fully- trained parachute Batta-
lion.
There are other forces which are
earmarked • by Nato as mobile
forces, some at Tbe moment dep-
loyed is the United Kingdom, and
others on tbe, Continent, There is a
substantial force we can' draw on.
Mr John Biggs-Davteon (Epping
Forest, C): Relief In his" welcome
substantive reply would be nnder-
nrtned if anything were done to
reduce tbe streng th and effective-
ness of tbe Royal Marine Com-
mandos. - ■
Mr Note I know bis great concern
about the proposal to merge one of
the commandos .with others. There
is uo present Intention, to reduce
the numbers of the Royal Marine
Commandos, indeed recruiting is
still Increasing their numbers, it Is
true we envisage one less com-
mando, and so one less unit.
Mr Roy Hughes (Newport; Lab) :
Has be considered tbe objections
to these plans from certain Arab
states in the .area. Wisely and un-
derstandably, they do not wish to
get involved in the cold-war stra-
tegy.
It would be better for tbe Gov-
ernment to forget its imperialist
delusions and instead concentrate
on getting Britain back to work.
(Conservative protests.)
Mr Nott : I am not aware of tbe
objections. If there are any, I am
going to Saadi Arabia, Oman, tiie
United Arab Emirates, Qatar and
Bahrain next week. No doubt, I
shall bear directly from them how
they see we can act together in oar
common interests to preserve
various parts of the world which
might- be under potential threat —
both the countries themselves and
the West as a whole.
Mr Jonathan Aitken (Thanet East,
C): On his forthcoming visit he
should undertake to carry cut
detailed consultations with friendly
countries In that area before com-
ing to final deletions on our con-
tribution to a rapid deployment
force.
While any extension of the exist-
ing maritime force in the Gulf in a
time of crisis could be useful, any
attempt to build a big maritime
base on foreign soil could be coun-
ter-productive and provocative.
Mr Nott; The security and sta bUtty
of the Gulf is in the first place a
matter fix’ the states themselves.
We do not envisage action in, for
instance, the Gulf -without the full
support and request of those states
concerned.
This would be a common venture
for the defence of countries threat-
ened by aggression. It would have
to be by agreement and after con-
sultation.
On a naval force, a Royal Navy
contribution could be significant.
On basing, tbe United States is
having talks with a number of
countries id that area. This would
be bases for equipment, almost
certainly not people. These are
matters which we are reviewing
with the countries concerned.
Mr Frank Allaim (Salford East,
Lab); Does Be remember tbe long
and successful straggle in this
House to wind-up our military
activity east of Suez ? Is the Gov-
ernment proposing to recoin
there?
Mr Nott: I remember Mr AHaun's
struggle. Whether it was success-
ful is a question of judgment.
Certainly, we did withdraw from
permanent bases east of Suez, but
there is no Intention to return to
one there, the Gulf or anywhere
else. That Is not the purpose of the
rapid deployment force and never
was.
He added Tatar On the naval
task force side, we envisage the
posribOiiy of HMS Hermes with
Marine Commandos support
forces, might be available for RDF
tasks.
Mr James WeUbeloved (Bexley,
Erith and Crayford, Lab); Bis
statement that he is prepared to
reassign the Nato mobile force to
tiie rapid deployment force strikes
a fundamental blow at tiie
coherence of the Nato alliance,
since the first priority is to the
central front of Nato.
Mr Nott : That is not what I said af
all.
Mr WeUbeloved: It was.
Mr Nott: No. 1 said that we had a
spearhead battalion on 72 hours’
notice and the 8th Field Force la
the United Kingdom. That is not
dedicated to Saceor. I said that
Nato bad a mobfle force which. If
Nato so decided and Saceur so
decided, might provide some
forces. That is different to the way
Mr WeUbeloved put it.
Mr Geoffrey Johnson Smith (East
Grins read, C) : Could be possibly
give us some idea on the thinking
of tiie Government ou this complex
and necessary matter? ■
Mr Nott : There are a number of -
detaiis to be settled but it depends"'
to some extent on how the Asneri-*
cans further develop their own
ideas oa command and control,
structure and te** ~“dtioU of.
their own forces before we can tica
up the details of ota; own contribu- -
tioa.
Mr Brynor John, chief Opposition *
spokesman on defence (Pontypridd,
Lab): In an interview in Nom I
magazine, ic is reported that Mr “
Nott suggested that the boundaries
o( Nato woold be extended. What l4
he savs about Saceur implies that
there- is a desire for extension. _
Would he deny that?
The Saw In the announcement
was that tbe consultation was. in —
Washington and not in the Gulf,»i»
where 4t should have been before**
tiie announcement. Would he ask- -
the Prime Minister to think first -
and speak afterwards, rattier than
the reverse?
Mr Note There is a continuing/
dialogue with the Gulf states by .
tbe United States and tin's country. •'
On the question of control arrange-,.;,
meats, this would be a national
force and not under Nato com-
mand.
What X said and wifi clarify once
again is that there are some mobile ' .
forces which exist already and'"
which, if Nato so desired, might, r "
provide a mobile force, bat ibe.--
United States are nor envisaging .
the RDF should be drawn from' •:
troops on tbe central front, nor%r-
am I envisaging that any contri-o
button we might make would come
from tiie central front.
It .would come from tbe spear- /
head battalion and, - if more is'*’
needed, come from the 8th Field'/
Force in tbe United Kingdom.
Navy to have
nuclear and
conventional
submarines
The Ark Royal was being launched
by the Queen Mother in June, Mr
Keith Speed, Under Secretary for
Defence for the Royal Navy, said.
Mr Speed (Ashford, C) told Mr
Stephen Ross (Isle of Wight, L)
that it .was not the practice to
publish f utur e warship ordering

interested shipyards for a variety
of vessels including a nuclear pow-
ered fleet submarine. Type 22 fri-
gates. and mine sweeping trawlers.
Mr George Robertson, an Opposi-
tion spokesman on defence (Hamil-
ton, Lab): The minister -has told us
he Is not going to declare in
advance the shipbuilding pro-
gramme for the Navy, yet two
national newspapers have well
documented accounts of the future
ordering programme.
Is there or is there not going to

SO — W Introduce tbe- European
Communities (Amendment) 3HL
Its purpose, he said, was to
amend the European Communities
Act 1972 to make ' the provision
of objective and relevant informa-
tion about the working of the
Community automatic.
Questions such as ** How much
does the French fanner cost the
British housewife ? " should be
answered. . Tbe British public
should be on its guard. There
would be attempts by the affl-
riouados of Brussels to try to
prerend that ever? penny coming
from Brussels was European
money. Tbe people mast not be
misled. The money started in
their pockets.
Mr Rnssefl Johnson (Inverness.
L), opposing the Bill, said that
to propose the amendment of the
1972 Act was not practical and it
was political nonsense to suggest
it.
What Mr Marlow suggested was
also dishonest: He knew the
co m mitmen t of his party to the
Community. Many Conservative
MPs shared tbe dissatisfaction
with certain of the workings of
the Community, but . to pretend
that amending legislation . would
solve this was not true. Britain’s
problems were political, not
national.
Private Bill
The Charterhouse Japbet Bill was
read the third time in the Com-
Rules on disclosure
of company accounts
House of Lords
Tbe fear that companies would
have to face even mote regulations
from Government departments
because of tbe Companies (No 2)
Bill, which strengthens the inspec-
tion of accounts and sanctions
against fraud, was expressed by
Lord Brace of Donington (Lab.)
. He was moving an Opposition
amendment to Clause 5 dealing
w ith accounting exemptions, dur-
ing tbe committee stage of tbe Bill.
The proposed change would have
obliged the Secretary of State,
when be wished to modify the
accounting exemption provisions,
to have a draft instrument contain-
ing the modifications approved by
resolution of both Houses.
He said people in bustaes already
had to keep an eye on an unending
stream of regulations from Govern-
ment departments, but if they were
to be inundated .with regulations
every time the EEC blinked an eye
or a new Commissioner got an idea
about what information was
required, they would be filled with
dismay.
The amendment was rejected by
72 votes _ to 57— Government
majority, IS.
Lord Bruce of Donington, moving
a further amendment, said he did

panies should be exempt from the

its results were quite significant.
The figures ft achieved by way of
performance were not only of in-
terest to the company and its
shareholders but to tbe public.
Lord Madtay of Clashfem, Lord
Advocate, said tiie amendment dis-
played a somewb3t grudging atti-
tude to tbe medium-sized company.
Although there was a provision
that this information need not be
disclosed if jt was seriously prejn-
didal to- the Interests of the com-
pany, In the case of a medium-size
company It woold be possible to
infer a great deal from the
accounts that could not be inferred
in the case of a larger company
where tile figures would be sub-
sumed in larger aggregates in their
accounts.
The Government considered
carefully where the correct balance
lay and concluded that medium-
sized companies should be relieved
of the obligation to file this infor-
mation with the registrar.
The amendment was negatived.

Minister pressing United States to
buy British defence equipment
The relationship between the
United States and Britain could not
be wanner, Mr John Nott, Seoe-
tasy of •State for Defence, said
during a question on plans to fur-
doing our utmost to persuade tiie
United States to buy mere defence
equipment; from us.
Mr Nott (St Ives, C) said: During
my visit to .the United; States last
week, I had useful discussions with
the US Secretary of Defence and
also with the Secretary of State. I
met a - number of senators and
visited the headquarters at Nor-
folk, Virgin* of the Supreme
Allied Commander, Atlantic. ■
I found complete identity of
was heartened by the resourceful-
ness and determination of tbe US
in its leading role In Nato.
Mr Kenneth Carlisle (Lincoln, C) :
The US should purchase - more
equipment from tbe UK in view of
the large sums that we spend on
US equipment here and because of
tbe high quality of many of our
products. It is especially important
that we should urge sales now as
-they would support a large number
of jobs In Britain:
Mr John Nott : I entirely agree.
We are doing our utmost to per-
suade the. United States to . boy
more defence - eqra'EHnent from ns.
There Is a considerable imbalance
in their favov at present.
As wen as the discussions with
Mr Weinberger on the two items 1
view with Mr Weinberger- orr the . have mentioned already, we talked
need for. the Alliance to remain
firm In the face of the military
threat we face and to- meet the
agreed -Nato targets, securing-from
this expenditure the maxfmurq
operational capability- i
We also agreed that we must, not
reduce our effort to secure a lower
level of armament on both sides by
continuing to try to secure agree-
ment with Warsaw Pact countries
on realistic and verifiable measures
of arms control.
. On' defence equipment, Mr WeJn-
besger and I agreed that reciprocal
trade in- equipment between' our
two countries enhances the econo-
mic -strength of both the United
States and the United Kingdom
and that the UK had good equip-
ment to offer. Mr Weinberger con-
firmed that there were proposals
before ■ the US Congress to fund
both the AVBB and tee JF233 pro-
grammes.
The briefing I received at Sac-
lant provided me with a vfvs'd
description of the Immense capabi-
lity in tbe maritime sphere, as In
others, that the US commits to the
Alliance. In this, and in all ways, 1
about Searcbwater, Stingray,
YfaveH, Giant Viper and Hawk.
I'- hope we will be successful in
selling more British products to
the US in future.
MrrMattbew Parris (West Derby-
shire, C): Win the final decision
on Trident wait for final decisions
on offset?
Mr Nott: We are purchasing from
the US ballistic missile system. I
do not think that offset in tiie
normal ■ sense in which It is
referred to, is really likely or rele-
vant in that kind of crrcnm stance.
• Certainly, we wifi seek to maxi-
mize purchase by the US of our
equipment, but in the case of Tri-
dent we are talking about some-
thing separate.
Mr James Lamond (Oldham, East,
Lab): In talks about the need to
expand further the- expenditure on
arms; did he bear in mind the
speeches made at the United
Nations special session on disar-
mament, not only by tiie British
Prime Minister but by the Vice-
President of the United States?
If so, how -does he square the
suggestion that we need more and
more arms with the speeches made
at tbe United Nations? Or are we
just to take it that these speeches
meant nothing at an?
Mr Note We follow what is said in
the United Nations but not all
those who made speeches happen
to be on our side.
In my main answer X said we did
discuss arms control In general.
We agreed it was necessary to
secure agreement with the Warsaw
Pact countries on a lower level of
armanents. balanced on bote sides
-with verifiable measures to control
it.
Mr Anthony Bade (Colchester,
Cl: Can he tell us m,ore about what
will happen about Stingray ? Can
he confirm that our relationship
with the United States is a close-
and special one and is likely to
continue?
Mr Nott : Our relationship with the
United States could not be warmer.
I had an excellent series of talks
and we were congratulated widely
in the US for tbe substantial con-
tribution we make to Nato. Stin-
gray way mentioned in our talks
and .we wffi -be following it up in
future months.
Mr David Clark, an Opposition
spokesman . on defen ce (S outh
Shields, Lab) : On the JPZ33, will
he confirm or deny that we have
had notice of cancellation by the
Americans ? If this is correct, are
we going to continue to develop It
on oar own and. at extra cost?
Mr Nott : The position under the
last administration was that Con-
gress was unwilling to T>ass the
funds which were provided by
JF233. The present administration
has pot the matter back before
Congress and we believe that it is
likely to go through fins time.
As fra- our position on tiie JP233

if we were required to do so alone.
Trident will
bring jobs
to industry
Seventy per cent of the £5, 000 m
cost of the Trident programme^'
would be spent with British in-.,'
dnstry and would increase jobs, Mr
John Nott, Secretary of State for.
Defence, said at question time. .
Mr Martin Flannery (Sheffield, '
Hillsborough, Lab) said tbe~
number of deterrents on bote sides
was now so horrendous as to be -
able to blow m ankin d skyhigh.
Tbe money to be spent on Tri-.
dent, if put into the economy *
would regenerate industry and put
many people back to work instead
of being used uselessly on this'--
so- called deterrent.
Mr Nott: I doubt if tee shipyard '
workers in Barrow wtao will be-
receiving a large proportion of this -
in extra shipbuilding orders would -.
share Mr Flannery’s view.
Seventy per cent of this £5,00fov -
will be spent with British industry "
and will Increase jobs. It will go
Into tee British economy. . ■
As for tee deterrent aspeer. ...
although the scale of the strategic- -
weapons on both sides is bofren-
dons, our own independent deter-
rent will make an extremely signi-
ficant addition to tee deterrents to—
any aggressor simply because it -
involves a second area of decision- "
making. *’*
Mr Brynmor jonn, an Opposition-
spokesman on defence. (Ponty-..:
pridd. Lab): It makes no sense to
spend £5, 000m on a marginal add!- ;
tion to tee so-called deterrent at-
tee expense of Interrupting other '•
expenditure Commitments.
Mr Nott: Every Labour Govern-
ment since the war has -considered
It desirable, if not essential, that*,
we should have an independent '*
Strategic nuclear deterrent. --
If the Opposition has changed its ‘
mind one must ask why this Is so
when tee threat is Increasing year"

Defensive capability
against chemicals
Britain must concentrate on
enabling her troops to have a
defensive capability against chemi-
cal weapons, Mrs Margaret
Thatcher, Prime M i n ister, said
during questions.
Mr Frank Hooley. (Sheffield,
Heeley, Lab) asked the Prime
Minister whether her conversa-
tions with President Reagan in-
cluded discussions on the stock-
piling or deployment of binary
nerve gas weapons -on British soil.
Mrs Thatcher (Barnet, Finddey,
C) : No.
Hr Hooley: Tbe United Kingdom
has, hitherto, had a good record
in ’ promoting discussion on a.
convention to abolish afl chemi-
cal weapons and prohibit . their
use.
Will this continue to be tire
policy of the Government in the
light of the horrifying nature of
these weapons ?
Mrs Thatcher : Yes, we are
anxious to secure a comprehensive
ban on chemical weapons. What
Is holding up such a ban is the
attitude of tee Soviet Union which
has shown It is unwilling to
countenance tee verification
arrangements we need.
Mr Cyril Townsend (Bexley.- Bex-
ieyheafo, C) : Man; on this side
welcome the Prime Minister's -de-
cision not to develop an offensive
chemical warfare capability but to
concentrate on producing better
defensive mechanisms rather than
chemical warfare.
Mrs Thatcher : It would be better
still if we had a comprehensive
ban on the possession of all chem-
ical weapons, but so far there is
no prospect of getting one.
It would be better if those who
had been accused of possibly
using chemical weapons in
Afghanistan . would submit to a
United Nations investigation
which, so far, they have refused
to do- .
Bjfr Winston Churchill (Stretford,
C) : It is a matter of extreme con-
cern that the Soviet Union should
have made such heavy investments
in recent years in' an offensive
chemical capability, bote land
based and air-launched. Every
division of tee Soviet army has an
integral chemical battalion.
In those dr cum stances, unless
some agreement can be obtained
with tee Soviet Union, is tee
Prime Minister not prepared to
look again at the whole question
of whether British troops should
face such, weapons without any
means of safeguarding themselves
against them ? .
Mrs Thatcher : Ic is a terrible fact
that the Soviet Union has this
considerable offensive chemical
.weapons capability. I believe that
criticism should be concentrated,
on persuading them first to- reduce
feat, then totally to disband It.
So long as they retain it, natur-
ally other countries are concerned
feat they have nothing to deter
tee Soviet Udon from using it.
In fee first place we must con-
centrate on enabling onr troops to
have a defensive capability against
that and have proper protection. .
Need for medical school
at St Mary’s Hospital
Closure of the medical school of meet the requirements of a district
St Mary’s Hospital, Haddington,
woold cripple tee hospital and
destroy the health care essential to
feat area Mr John Wheeler (City
of Westminister, Paddington. C)
said in an adjournment debate.
He said that fee university
centre would be meeting next Wed-
nesday when it would probably
make a decision about the future
of tee London medical schools.
It was being suggested that this
school would have to be closed.
That would have a disastrous effect
on. a hospital which was essential
.to an area which had. considerable
social deprivation.
Sir George Young, ■Under-Secre-
tary for Health and Social Security
(Ealing, Acton, C) said that the
Flowers report had proposed the
amalgamation of 34 existing medi-
cal institutions within the univer-
sity.
The report had been hotly dis-
puted and after a long period of
consultation tbe medical faculty of
the university proposed a revised
package which changed some of
fee elements of the Flowers recom-
mendations but supported many of
its conclusions.
There could be no doubt teat the
hospital -would continue to be a
major centre for the provision for
acute hospital services. The Gov-
ernment remained committed to
the current plans for developing
tee hospital.
The current condition of the
facilities there was Inadequate and
it had become increasingly diffi-
cult over recent years for it to
general hospital and a teaching -
hospital in its existing buildings..
Part of tbe buildings were over
100 years old, fee layout ivas-
almost unworkable, space in-
adequate and communications
poor. But despite fee difficult con-
ditions the standard of services ■;
provided had remained consts-'-
tentiy high-
Whatever the decision of tee
University of London about tbe
organization' of tee medical
schools, tbe Government was fully,
committed to tbe redevelopment
and bis department had made clear
t«» tee university there woold bo ■
substantial costs in any major re'- -
planning and this would be unde-
sirable at such a late stage.
We would not (be said I allow
NHS sen-ices to be adversely,
affected by any .withdrawal of vital"
support services.
He would make certain that-,
before any decision was arrived afr.
Mr Wheeler’s speech was made--
available to those who . had the
decision to take so that they could
be well aware of the high feeling'
and strong argument he had made^'
In support of the medical school.

Warning against militancy
from Scargill opponent
From Ronald Kershaw
Wakefield
Needless militancy on the
part of the National Union of
Mineworkers would damage
market prospects, cause uncer-
tainty among existing coal
users and creat a split within
the union, Mr Trevor Bell, the
moderate opponent to Mr
Arthur Scargill in the fight for
the presidency of the union said
yesterday.
Mr Bell, who is general secre-
tary of the 19, 000-strong colliery
officials and staff sections of
the union, was replying to Mr
Scargill, the Yorkshire area
president, who had told dele-
gates in his annual address to
the area council: “The NUM
can win virtually anything pro-
vided we are prepared to
fight".
Mr Bell said the unity of the
union was essential to pursue
a larger share of the market for
coal in Britain and Europe, to
secure a future for Britain’s
miners.
The militants were in danger
of fragmenting the union and
driving away potential cus-
tomers.

Social Focus
Behind the violence, Ulster’s
The real tragedy of Northern'
■ Ireland, usually obscured m a
province where a stubborn refusal
to see the wood for the trees is
essential to the way of life, is that
those opposed to the British
connexion and those opposed, to.
an Irish one are fighting the
wrong battle.
They are encouraged in their
foolishness by the general tend-
ency in Britain to regard the
increasingly distasteful Ulster
link as a political and security
problem with religious and ethnic -
■overtones rather than as a social
and economic problem with e thni c
and religious distractions.
' The bombings and killings, the
political posturings and the to-
ings and fro-ings continue to
command the headlines, but
behind them lies an awesome
accumulation of social deprivation
and outright poverty which can
fairly be said to be a disgrace to
western civilization. This has been
said before, but hardly enough for
it to have become a cliche.
The first Ulster person I heard
saying it was Bernadette McAlis-
key. nee Devlin, in a Londonderry
pub in 1968, just as the present
prolonged bout of sectarian viol-
ence began. The shooting and the
destruction continue in a desul-
tory way, with Mrs McAliskey
very nearly becoming a fatal
casualty recently. But it is still the
r.Tong fight, and poverty goes on
gaining ground at an accelerating
rate without, now, noticeable
discrimination between Protestant
and Catholic, whatever the former
may still do to the latter.
The growing
problem
Political causes which turn
people into demolition experts and
murderers and lead them to foul
their own nest with spectacular
insouciance cannot be taken
lightly, still less ignored. Britain
has done neither, but it remains
true that few British politicians,
directly responsible though they
r.ow are for the province, have
grasped the growing immensity of
the problem of poverty there and
none has done much more than
tinker with it, as the present
condition of the place proves. •
A senior civil servant in Belfast
said: “I am not sure whether
money alone is the answer to
Northern Ireland's troubles. I do
know that there can be no
solution without it.”
In the regional “league tables”
of social and economic indicators
for the United Kingdom, Northern
Ireland usually Les at the bottom
when it is best to stand at the top
and vice versa. - Its -disadvantages
are aggravated by distance, both
physical and psychological.
Figures collated from various
sources show the province has the
- highest proportion of dependent
children and the highest birth rate
in. the. kingdom;. It also has the
Highest death rate, the lowest life
expectancy and the highest infant
mortality. --
. ■ Northern Ireland consumes less
..alcohol than the rest of the UK
but has the most alcoholics, a .
curious .manifestation ‘ of local
drinking patterns: more .than 40
per cent, are ‘teetotal compared
with about 9 per cent -in Britain,
but those who drink more than
make up for the abstainers.
The- .province, has by far the
highest unemployment at 17.3 per
cent . (34.5- per - cent in Strabane,
more than 50 per cent in parts of
-Belfast)- and the highest number
- of long-term unemployed (as well
‘as the most self-employeo). The
.appalling catalogue goes on and
on: lowest personal and household
income, greatest dependence on
social security, highest, domestic
fuel -expenditure;' fewest house-
hold durables and' housing ameni-
ties, highest proportion of hous-
ing unfit- for human habitation,
lowest reading standards (but the '
highest number in further edu-
cation). lowest mean IQ and the
highest congenital, abnormality
and mental handicap rates. .
Such good fortune as .can be
found in depressed Britain, no-
tably plentiful if not exactly cheap
“home-grown” coal, natural gas
and oil, is denied to the northern
Irish. Even with a £40m a year
subsidy from the Government,
electricity costs 22 per cent more
than in Britain because nearly all
of it comes from oil-fired power
stations. . Coal costs 12 per cent
more, while the small but expens-
ive town --gas network in the
province is being phased out.
On her recent visit to Belfast,
Mrs Thatcher promised that
electricity prices in the privince
will be held until Britain’s catch
up. This need not be seen as
generous. “It’s like one of those
'concessions’ dictators make,”
said a voluntary social worker in
Belfast. "You take everything
away from somebody, then you
give him a tiny bit back, call it a
concession and expect him to be
grateful”. The Government is also
studying the possibility of piping
natural gas over ,the border from
the Republic’s field at Kinsale.
Even so, about two thirds of
northern Irish homes rely on
relatively inefficient solid fueL
An official of the Northern
Ireland Housing Executive, re-
sponsible for all public sector
homes in the . province to prevent
' discrimina tion by local authorities
against Catholics, said :the con-
dition of the province’s horsing
was 15 years behind Britain’s.
“Belfast has the worst housing in
.western- Europe,” he said.
The miserable quality of- most
of the city’s housing in Protestant
and Catholic areas alike tends to
stupefy - the inexperienced. The
full flavour is acquired by walking
round the city in the -rain, not
from the windows of -a car,
official or unofficiaL
' ' Condensation runs down the
inside of- windows on a mildisfa
winter’s day, attesting to damp
and inadequate heatings -Ingrained
dirt actually shines -from the wail
of a hallway glimpsed through an
open door, birfmshed by gener-
ations of shoulders overburdened'
by most things except paid. work.
‘ The rats
don’t run ... ’
Empty houses, boarded up, and
overcrowded houses bursting with
people who have moved for safety
into one ghetto- or another look
out upon the rubble-strewn mud.
of cleared sites .or are overlooked
by a high wire security fence.-
"The only fat you’ll see round
here- is on the rats,” said an
eloquent housewife in west Bel-
fast. “And they. don-’t run, they
walk.” That is not strictly true.
The people on the streets are
sometimes overweight, pasty- '
faced or of blotchy complexion,
from poor diets. The crumbling
cars and swirling rubbish match
the lank hair, bad teeth, split
shoes and shoddy clothing all
around. Troubles or no, there is
much apathy, probably more -
among Catholics than Protestants.
Much of this' might also be found,
in southern Italy, but there at
least the sun shines — and there
is only one religion. On the
Protestant Shankm Road, the
benefits of being British seem as
remote as the Battle of the Boyne
its murals celebrate.
Professor Peter - Townsend,
author of the trenchant work
Poverty in the' Uhited Kingdom,
once said of the Shanldll Road
district: “I had never before been
anywhere in the United Kingdom
where there were so many evident
signs of poverty, and I remember
two incidents in particular. In one
street I saw two red-haired
children selling coal by the pound
from a handcart. Then a short
distance away I noticed young
girls looking for underwear 'in a
second-hand clothes shop — this
seemed to be a poignantly signifi-
cant ''manifestation' -of hardshlb. '
■ unique : in the United Kingdom?* •
That was nr 1969 v It seems no'-
, different now.
. ’ At the notorious Dhris flats, .
slums from the day -they opened,
vandalism' used' to’ exist £500 a -
Week. Intruders {presumably)
urinated hi. the lifts, so yityl to::
’ elderly people imprisoned .in the
tower blpck, and defecated in the
hallways. Eventually the Housing
■ Executive / took defensive mea- .
sores. Tempered steel- lift doors
.'were specially ordered from the:
local Harland and Wolff shipyard .
and two watchmen were engaged
for a -total' of about £150 a week, ;
an intelligent piece of job creation,
which produced a net saying of
£350a week. .
“Unless we get a lot more,
'money soon”, said the Housing .
Executive official, “we, won’t even
■ bfe able to stand still. There are ;
32.000 families on the waiting list,
two thirds of them in acute need, .
and it grows by 2,000 a year?’ :
The - Executive admiriisters-
192.000 homes, about 37 per cenr
of the province’s total Stock. The
official thought_(he had no means .
of. confirmation) that about 50,000- .
tenants of the executive were
* getting supplementary benefits
and another 20,000 rent .rebates.
He thought -that another 20,000
.were, entitled t ft help bat did not
drew it. -'
Small wonder that there is a
formidable and still growing
public - -debt ' in Ulster; - now '
exceeding £31m, which represents
in a province of a little more than
. 1.5m people a total of £20 for
every man, woman and ’ child,
owed for unpaid, rent, rates,
ele ctri c it y and gas. -The statistics -
are difficult to disentangle be-
cause those who owe in one '
category are the most likely to
bwe in others, but it would appear
that 100,000 householders snare
the total debt, an average of £300
each.
The public debt -originated in
rent and rate strikes 10 years ago
and more,' but administrators, .
social workers and other informed
sources agree that the bulk of it
now is evidence of inability to pay
on grounds of acute poverty. The
Housing Executive will increase
all rents by an average 38 per cent
in May on Government orders'.' .
The Executive official said: .“This
is a bloody silly doctrinaire
approach. We could also employ
many more people and have our
pick,- too, but we’re not allowed to
do that either, for the same
doctrinaire reasons.”
Eileen Evas on, lecturer in social
administration at the New Univer-
sity of Ulster at Coleraine arid a -
leading figure in the “Poverty
Lobby” which gathers infor-
mation on need and tries to draw
attention to it, has produced, a
number of vivid, reports with
catchy tides, like “Ends that don’t
meet” and “Just me and the kids”
(on one-parent families, of which
Ulster has far more- than its fair
share).
Ms Evason thinks Northern
Ireland is at the end of its tether.
“We are so far down the line that
we can’t take it any further. The
social situation is explosive be-
cause of all the poverty here.
People could get killed because of
this. Every cut in spending has a
disproportionate effect on us.
Deliberate discrimination on re-
ligious grounds is fading: every-
body's going down the same drain
now.” Last week’s Budget will bn
this basis add several more turns
of the screw.
Higher cost
of living
It is clear that Britain’s over-
strained social security system
cannot cope with Northern Ire-
land’s problems, the most obvious
of the several reasons being that
payments are too stnalL
”But there are other factors.
There used to be positive discrimi- ’
nation in Ulster in that fuel
subsidies took account of . the
higher prices charged. This prac-
tice. ha* been abandoned. The
system never did take any real
account of the higher cost of
Slams h the Lower Falls area of Belfast
living and all the other disadvan-
tages. relative to Britain to be
found in Ulster.
The system also faces the
. wrong way. Instead of being
active in looking for ways it can
help, it is passive and waits for
people to find out what benefits
they might be entitled to and to
claim them. The forms are usually
dreadfully “official” and impen-
etrable to all but the well-educated
and practised claim ant, a contra-
diction in terms; - The ' fear of
“scrounging” has taken the heart
out of the system and overrides
crying need. Ulster is well
represented in the recent estimate
for file United Kingdom that
£500m a year goes unclaimed, not
the best advertisement for the
welfare state. Nor is the recent
Ulster Television dramatized
series, intended to show what
benefits exist, worthy though the
motive was. Another senes is
planned.
The Government claims that
public expenditure per head is 30
per cent higher in Ulster than in
Britain, but independent ob-
. servers argue the margin down to.
a mere two per cent when special
factors such as the emergency are
taken into account. Any sugges-
tion that the Government should
pour money into' Ulster until it
achieves social and economic
parity with Britain is met with
helpless references to cash limits.
The same Goverment is pouring
the balance of £70m into a factory
making luxury sports cars for the
American market in the middle of
a world energy crisis, for the sake
of 1,000 jobs.
The more one sees of the
present condition of _ Northern
Ireland, the more convincing the
argument becomes- that the answ-
er to its problem is above all well
thought out injections of money
in large quantities. 'The economic
philosophy of the present Govern-
ment is based on the analogy of
the good housekeeper who tries to
live within his means. The same
good housekeeper is capable of
forgoing a holiday to convert an
abandoned loft into habitable
' living-space.
West Germany supports an
enclave too, in West Berlin, which
it keeps alive not only by a
massive special subsidy but also
by excusing residents' 50 per cent
of their tax liability and ensuring
that they pay no more than the
going rate for essentials. The
papulation is comparable. Is there
a lesson here?
It is difficult to relate Northern
Ireland to Britain because of the
troubles and because it is so far
away. But its social and economic
problems are only extensions of
Britain’s own malaise, and I saw
nothing there I had not already
seen in Strathclyde, on Mersey-
side and Tyneside. There was just
more of it in a smaller space.
The real relevance to Britain
can be set down in the form of a
simple rhetorical question: what
would a British Government not
have done had a similar situation
arisen in Kent?

between William Saroyan’s
Playthings and the Theatre of
Mistakes’ Homage to Morandi
(playing lunchtime this week at
the Jeannetta Cochrane) is the
distance separating Hanslick
and Scriabin.
Morandi has an intellectual
rigour and toughness that
should commend it as stimula-
tion for any acute, sensitive
minds numbed by working-day
boredom around Southampton
Row, unless they are alarmed
by the company’s description
of the play : “ A work of
oppositions, animate with in-
animate, the figurative with the
abstract; life with art”.
The 40-minute script is sus-
tained by three actors aad a
stage full of portable furniture:
chairs. suitcases, wardrobe.
Each actor’s costume identifies
him by colour with one of
these and, by visual and verbal
means, human deployment of
props develops into an

is (and here the description is
perfect) “a fugue pat together
out of the verbal and physi cal
mannerisms of departure ■*.
Suitable phrases, “ Why " do
you have to go ? ”, “I really
must go”, make up a subtly
varied subject (in the musical
sense) for a piece whose formal
intricacies determine everything
from word and gesture to the
costume of the five participants.
Successive sections, signalled
by the lighting of different
lamps above the black-walled
set, launch the fugue’s subject
on a different sequence; of
“ voices ”, while the introduc-
tion of new elements is as
precisely calculated as it would
be in Bach. As in the shorter
play, sinister silences punctuate
the simple statements (the con-
trol of pace is spectacular) and
suggest nightmarish, helpless
imprisonment- in one pattern of
as a promising young comic
from die Los Angeles night-
clubs.
However accidental, Wil-
liams turned out to be a lucky
choice. For one thing, his
comedian's bent for improvisa-
tion meshed well with the in-
formal, collaborative style of
Popeyes director, ’ Robert Alt-
man. For another, Williams
has a gift for mimicry as
striking as that of the late
Peter Sellers lone of his
idols). And mimicry rather
than declamation or rendering
subtle emotions turned out to
be the key to playing Popeye.
" Popeye understands his
own worth ”, Williams says.
“He’s a -natural man. Like ne

disarmingly. " Everything's

Williams says he wants to do

is a fUm script he is writing
with a partner and trill star
in— “Going the Woody Allen
route ”, he laughs. Charles
Joft'e, who manages WLltiams,

Williams, whose offstage
voice is surprisingly soft and
shy, worked- for a .year to lower
his speech intq Popeye’s distinc-
tive growl. At the same time,
he honed his body for the
strenuous, cartoon-type falls,
fights and contortions the part
involved. Exercising for three
hours a night in the Paramount
gym. after spending the day on
the Mork and Mindy stage,
Williams trained with Lou'
Wills Jr, a veteran acrobatic
dancer. “And after all that,”
Williams says, “when Bluto
rhrew his first punch- at me on
the set, r benr forward when I
was supposed to bend back and
came away with a bloody nose.”
The sort of working schedule
.Popeye demanded was nothing
.new to Williams, whose over-
nigiir stardom in Mork and
Mindy has led 1 to a succession
nf 16-hour and 18-hour days.
Despite the reputed 30,000 dol-
lars a week he gets for the
series and the dispensation —
rare in American television— to
ad lib his own lines in addition
to the written script, Williams
still -finds his -Mork role crea-

Every Monday night, Wil-
liams can be found working
incognito, as ip were, with an
improvisation group . at The
Comedy Store, a Los Angeles
club. One of his favourite
“ bits ", as comics call their
routines, is to ask the audience

The Camden Festival Jazz Week
opened on Monday with an
evening of unusual variety. We
heard music which resembled
advertising jingles for instant
coffee, music which might have
been designed specifically to
soothe delayed passengers in
airport lounges, and passable
imitations of disco music and
that egregious variety of rock
and roll known as heavy-metal.
What we did not hear was much
jazz.
The only music of lasting
value, in fact, occupied around
20 seconds of die evening. It
came from Ray Warleigh, the
consistently imaginative alto
saxophonist, who rose out of
Dave MacRae’s 12-piece Cur-
rent Event on a piece called
" Four-minute Warning ” to
deliver a solo which flared and
died with the evanescent
brilliance of a falling star.
Current Event, consisting of
fire hams, one voice, and an
expanded rhythm section, per-
formed seven of MacKae's
compositions, .any of which
j^ight in other contexts have
been taken for incidental
music. There was no evident
attempt at original manipula-
tion of tbe available instru-
mentation, and Ithe charts were
performed in an appropriately
robotic manner largely wasting
the talents of several worthy
musicians. Why this project
was deemed worthy of an Arts
Council bursary is anybody’s
guess.
Billy Cobbam’s latest venture,
a quintet named Glass Men-
agerie, shares with MacRae’s
music the implicit suggestion
char, rather than taking a valu-
able place in a heavily spon-
sored jazz festival, it ought
more properly to be subject to
rhe pressures of the commercial
market place.
Tbe .American percussionist,
whose flashy exploits with the
Mahavishnu Orchestra turned
him, like some laner-dav Buddy
Rich, into a hero of die drum-
clinics, is a marvellous techni-
cian and a peerless session-man.
Left to his own devices as a
bandleader, he heads straight
for the lowest common
denominator.

by catcalls from the clowns. It
is all high-spirited, and event-
ful, large- textured music in
which one does not have time
the work is totally typical, ong
jnal in every respect.
Stockhausen, like many ol
his vanguard contemporaries,
dallied for a while with music-
theatre. the spectacular concert-
piece whose music involves per-
formers moving round the plat-
form or auditorium. His
colleague in Cologne, the high-
spirited Mauricio Kagel. must
have stimulated him in that
direction, though Stockhausen’s
identity as a composer is much
more serious, visionary in pur-
pose. his ultimate ambition to
compose music for inter-galac-
tic performance, no less.
He has made a fresh start by
determining to compose a cycle
of seven operas, one for each
lating bis childhood- experiences, Heaven where Michael and

Mondeva are welcomed by
Mother Eve with a festival of
soog, choral music, dance,
botany and coloured light-
pictures. We move here quite
close to the more recondite of
Goethe’s special studies, and
indeed the form of this third
act has not a little in common
two acts only. We had the
consolation of Gae Aulenri’s
exquisitely imaginative scenic
designs in a style of heightened
realism, most evocative in the
forest with huge attendant bird-
figures. Ronconi’s production
is sympathetic, bold and
eminently resourceful, with
Kabuki-style stage-bands clad
in black and virtually invisible.
Great praise is due to tbe
orchestra of La Scaia, and. the
conductor, Peter Eotvijs. fully a

to move towards a policy of you dr
when announcing the squad for
next Wednesday’s friendly match

The match represents one of
only two opportunities this year
to • give newcomers _ experience

performances for Ipswich Town in
the’ first division this season hare
been so impressive.
The. policy is that of minimum
or only enforced change -with
emphasis on loyalty to the players
in possession. This is a laudable
group of players who showed their sentiment but a little worrying in
limitations- in the European 'Cham-
pionship in -Ttalv last summer,
although now. admittedly, with
the welcome availability of
Francis, should remain until ne’er

Greenwood renews Interest in

a broad tactical argument about

importance to the pattern of die

feeling that everything will once

Keegan now restored to full stature
By John Nicbolls
Southampton 3 Evert cm 0
' At- last, in their fourth meeting
this season, Southampton managed
tn heat Everton. This hard-fought
and eventually well-deserved ric-
tury will gu some way cowards
avenging their defeat at Everton’s
Ikinds 1 in 'the FA Cup and it Lifts
them 'to third place in the League
table. 'Tbe match was a personal
triumph . for Keegan, now-
apparently' restored to full fitness
.and' to the England' party. Tie was
the outstanding player on the pitch
and his twelfth minute opening
goal' was: his fourth in three
matches.
in the absence of George,
Keegan played as a striker and
once again he showed how effec-
tive he can be when given his
Head - . He caused the Everton de-
fence- no end of trouble and his
constant movement on and off the
hall 'always bad purpose. Tn the
si xrv- third minuce, when the
visitors were still searching for
an equalizer, Keegan popped np
again and his short, inspired pass
to Baker presented the midfield
player with the second, conclusive
goal.
Keegan $ goal was a memorable
solo effort, one man against the
entire Everton de'fence. He col-
lected tbe ball from Williams on
the halfway line and sec off down
the right touChllne. Outpacing
tbe immediate defenders, be cut
inside and dribbled round two or
three more players before dummy-
ing McDonagh and scoring with
case.
Only a minute before. McMahon
bad missed a scoring chance from
a similar situation and his fumbled
effort only served to highlight the
difference between Keegan and
the rest. Weils did well to deflect
McMahon’s attempt to dribble
round him and Holmes was there
to scramble the ball away. Eastoe
also missed a good opportunity
and later struck the crossbar
Everton undoubtedly had their
chances, but once the second goal
went in, time was against them.
The second goal ought to have
come a good deal earlier, but
Channon drove a penalty straight
at McDonagh and tbe ball can-
noned up into the air and over
the bar.
In the eighty- third min ute
Puckett, making his first senior
appearance, replaced Channon
and immediately had an impact
on tbe match. After a 'determined
run up tbe left wing he was
fouled and quickly flighted an
accurate free kick into the goal-
mouth. Moran beaded it down
and Williams, with an innocuous-
looking, bouncing shot deceived
McDonagh.

confidence should also be tem-
pered by the memory of another
journey to tbe east last season,
when Liverpool lost 3 — 0 to
Dinamo in Tbtisi, where tomorrow
West Ham have their sympathy
and good wishes..
Saturday’s League Cop final left
Dalgttsh, McDermott and Hansen
nursing a few bruises, but with
Johnson, who missed Wembley
with a temperature, hoping to be
available, the outcome tomorrow
ought not to be a matter of debate,
although such games have their
own problems.
If Liverpool sir back and chal-
lenge Sofia to pull back four
jdais, they could discover that
this talented team are capable of
doing so. There was little doubt
that In tbe first half at Anfield
Sofia were the more skilful side
and had their fimshiog been
accurate their task tomorrow
would be much less onerous.
Tbe lesson from Saturday’s
match against West Ham was that
Liverpool these days . need to
score early to restore faith in
Themselves. They are also unsure
defensively without Thompson,
who has been left in England for
treatment to an injured thigh.
Their frustration when thev fail
to score arrives earlier than It did
and it would he no bad thing
tomorrow if they sought to
increase their lead in tbe first
13 imitates, thus at least balancing
Sofia's away goaf.
Bob Paisley, the manager, can-
not expect Souness to score with
such explosive shots as he did in
and England -lost their first two
wickets in Holding’s opening over.
The contrast between the end of
tbe West Indian Innings and the
start of England’s was devastat-
ing: where Richards and Lloyd
had toyed with much of the Eng-
lish bowling. Boycott and Gatting
were removed off successive balls
and with only two runs on the
board. -
What bad seemed 00 be— and
was — a dower, easier pitch than
earlier in tbe match came to life,
due of course to the vastly dif-
ferent quality of the bowling. The
ball which accounted for Boycott,
Holding’s fifth, flew at Him ; tbe
next, which bowled Gatting, kepL
low. Boycott’s desperate attempt
at a parry cocked gently into tbe
gully.
As Gatting walked out, his leg
stomp at a drunken angle, it
seemed that the matrix might be
over today. Bur Gower was given
a life when he was 17, Greenidge
and Richards leaving a slip catch
to each other, as well as the
benefit of tbe doubt in several
close calls for leg before. With
Gooch looking encouragingly solid
hopes revived. Ac tea Gower and
Gooch bad taken the score to 34
for two and afterwards they were
going along happily enough "when
Richards struck.
It was to bowl at tbe left-
handed Gower, out of the rough
of the bowlers’ footmarks, that
Richards was brought on and this

Auckland. March L .—An _ un-
broken fifth wicket stand of
between Vengsarkar .and ram
kept India’s hopes alive in «ie
third and final Test match against
New Zealand here today. India,
who were 128 behind on the first
innings after dismissing the home
side for 36S, were 19“ for four at
the dose of the fourth day today.
Tbe touring team's main hope
is that their slow bowlers find
the pirch as helpful as it was fo,-
tbe New Zealand off spinner,
Bruce well. He took two for 31
from 32 overs and helped to re-
duce India to 93 for three before
Vengsarkar, in stands with Via-
wanath and Patil, tilted the
balance.
Vlswauath. who totalled IS lu
his fonr previous Test innings, hit
46 before being run out when be
was called for a sharp single. He
and Vengsarkar added 50 for the
fourth wicker. The revival was
sustained by Patil, who DatteiJ
aggressively for an unbeaten 36.
Vengsarkar continued to play a
passive role and was 20 not out
at the end of tbe day when India
led by 69.
India quickly terminated New
Zealand’s Innings . when they re.
snmed at 357 for eight. The lefl.
arm spinner, 1. Shastri. dismissed

Wasteful Wolves fluff a
marvellous opportunity
Half strength
By Nicholas' HarJing
Birmingham 1 Wolverhampton 0
With profligacy ibat they can ill
afford in their still precarious
position Wolverhampton Wan-
derers last night lost their
rearranged game at St Andrew’s
as well as the opportunity of
putting more space between them
and the teams at the bottom of
the first division.
Had Wolves finished with any-
thing approaching precision they
would comfortably have ended
their appalling record of not
having won away from home in
any competition for almost a year.
As it was Bill Nicholson, the re-
presentative of Tottenham Hot-
spur, the team Wolves meet in
the FA Cup semi-final round on
April 11, and the rest of us
watched in disbelief as Birming-
ham won a game in which they
could have received a hiding.
From as early as the rnird
minute it became obvious that
Waives bad decided that the
depressing sequence had gone on
long enough. Collecting a long
throw by Parkin, Richards shot
against the legs of Wealands,
Dennis clearing die rebound for
a corner. Gray then deliberated
too long, after rounding the goal-
keeper in Wolves’s next raid and
Gallagher was able to clear. An
upright kept out the next shot
from Richards, Clarke was denied
by his own inaccuracy and then
the bar got in the way when
Hughes, who was playing his first
senior game for three months,
, advanced- to try iris luck.
Since tne almost endless cate-
gory of", near tilings originated
from Birmingham’s benevolence
and not any scintillating attacking
performance by Wolves, the game
as a spectacle was scarcely
enlivened. Birnringbam had some
excuse. Circumstances had pre-
vented them from playing for 17
days and they seemed rusty.
Not evtn Worthington had in-
jected much of his usual improvl-
ration until he first served notice
that Birmingham might win the
game. He produced a shot that
Bradshaw did well to parry and
Evans’s attempt to score from the
rebound was thwarted by Berry at
tbe painful expense of a collision
with a post. Five minutes later, in
the seventy-fifth minutt, Worthing-
ton got tiie touch that mattered
after Gallagher had laid Ainscow's
fierce cross back for Broad hurst
to drive towards goal.

Exhausted before they start
Tbilisi, Soviet Union, March
17. — West Ham United finally
arrived in Tbilisi today after an
exhausting 26- hour Journey that
cast a shadow over their alrcady
remote chances of Cup Winners'
Cup success tomorrow.
West Ham’s manager John Lyall
and his squad of 16 were snow-
bound by howling blizzards at a
Moscow airport overnight and
flew into the Georgian capital IS
hours behind schedule. They fur-
r her complained of excessive red
tape at the Moscow airport and
said they had to carry rheir own
baggage for two hours before
being taken to an hotel just after
midnight.
Before taking the squad out for
rfterr pre-march training in Tbilisi
tonight. Mr LyaU said : " We are
mentally exhausted, absolutely
exhausted. What do you expect
after 26 hours of that ? " West
Ham are trailing 4 — 1 from the
quaner-finat first leg against
Dinamo -Tbilisi and will need to
pull off a sensational win if they
are to Teach tbe last four.

plete a shock result in the Cup
Winners’ Cup against Carl Zeiss
Jena, of East Germany.
Tommy Tynan, with two goals,
•merged as the hero a fortnight
ago when Newport snatched a 2 — 2
draw, and that means they r»"
drw 0 — 0 or 1 — 1 today and still
reach the last four.
Jena have several injuries and
two players suspended. Their man-
ager. Hans Meyer, says: “ New-
port are holding all the trumps. ”
Len Ashorst, tiie Newport man-
ager, warns that the home side
will need all the application and
commitment that characterized the
first leg performance.
Tbe only occasion a Welsh side
reached the semi-final round was
in 1967-68. when Cardiff City, of
the secood- division, lost on agre-
gate to Hamburg.
Newport were threatened with
bankruptcy only three years ago
when Mr Ashursi joined them. To-
night, they expect a £25,000 profit,
and will be hoping to add to the
10 European goals they have
scored on their own pitch this
season, against Crusaders, of Ire-
land . and Norwegians. Haugar.
One result will haunt Ipswich
Town as they resume he European
leg of rheir attempt to win rhrec
trophies: St. Etienne’S 5 — 0 vic-
tory in Hamburg in an earlier
round of the Uefa Cup. Even
though the First Division leaders
and FA .Cup semi-finalists bold a
three-sual advantage from the first
leg in France, they cannot afford
to sit back and try to defend it.
That could prove suicidal ’
said John Wark. the new Profes-
sional Footballers' Association
Player of the Year. His ten Euro-
pean goals this scasun have helped
Ipswich to the verge of the Uefa
Cup last four.
Ipswich have reshuffled their
defence to compensate for injury
to George Burley and the tem-
porary absence of Mick Mills with
shoulder trouble.
Kevin Steggles makes his first
team debut fur Ipswich at right
hack the day before his 20th birth-
day. He was due tu make his
debat last November against
Middlesbrough, but the match was
postponed. Another young Ipswich
reserve, Kevin O'Callaghan, is on
standby as cover for Eric Gates,
the England midfield player, who
has only a 50-50 chance of recover-
ing from a gashed shin.
Slemen has even more goals to achieve
By Peter West
Rugby- Correspondent
Before the start of the Calcutta
Cup match last month, a -former
Scottish international of much
distinction, who will be relieved
to remain nameless, expressed the
view that Mike Slemen was some-
what over the hill. The England
arid British Lions wing then
caused him to reconsider that ver-
dict by scoring one- memorable
try himself, setting, up another
for Huw Davies with a remark-
able sense of vision, arid putting
the stamp of a world class player
on everything he did.
Against France on Saturday.
Slemen will be winning hii
twenty-fourth consecutive cap,
four more than Peter Jackson,
tbe Coventry genius, and one
fewer than C. N. Lowe, of Black-
adds, " I owe some time to. my
wife, and two young children.’*
Maurice Ccdclough win be another
absentee from the tour, and Peter
Wheeler, who wins his txventy-
eigbfh cap on Saturday, has still -ta
make up his mind.
Slemen, who is 29. Is Inclined
to lirialc that the try he scored
against Scotland, his sixth for
England, was the most satisfying
of them aU. “ It was aicc ”, he
reflects, “ to have been Involved
twice in one flowing movement
on both sides of tiie patch ”. The
try illustrated Slemen’s instinct
For keeping himself in the game,
and not sanding waiting in the
wings for something to happen
Silken running and a subtle
change of pace are things the
rugby player is bom mlh, but the
sense of involvement which
heath, between ,1913 and 1923. Slemen brings may spring from a
one England wing. Peter versatile experience in h«s earlier
' ” ‘ days. -Between 11 and 17. he played
regularly as a scrum half at St
Edward's
Onl
s htre.
Squires, of Harrogate and York-
has won more caps (29)
for his country. The total j)f
David Duckbam. the most capped
of England backs with 36. In-
cludes' 34 marches at centre.
It seems probable that England’s
players will be offered full caps
for the two internationals in
Argentioa in May and June, but
Slemen will not be playing. He has
decided that he needs a rest after
two summers away from home.
Slemen feels he owes a debt to the
school ‘Where he teaches. Merchant
Tay fors*, Crosby. •" And ”, he
S School, Liverpool. In his
last year there, he achieved the
Teat of appearing in every position
behind -tiie scrummage except the
win*. .
” Then I had a year with ihe
Liverpool club at fly half ”, he
recalls. '■ I was only the third
choice scrum half, so I knew
which side my bread was buttered.
After that, I went to St Luke’s,
where there was a surplus of fly
halves, including Neil Bennett. So,
I got ia on the wing, and I’ve
stayed there, more or less, ever
aince.”
A memory of Slemen dropping
goals from midfield leads me to
wonder whether he is a stand-off
manque. “ Well, yes, la a way
he concedes. “ You see more or
the ball in that position. But. it's
a specialist place, and I’ve no
ambitions to perform there a i
senior level.”
■He thinks England's task nn
Saturday will be very difficult.
“ France have won three matebej
— perhaps without great expecta-
tions when it ail started— and.
they’ve got a lot to play fnr. Bui
this England side is capable of
winning if tbe forwards can get
the platform right. 1 thought they
did a really gutsy job in Dublin
despire all the difficulties. I take
my hat off to Colin Smart, who
battled away in an unfamiliar role
on the tight head sloe.”
Roland Benranne. the French
centre, will equal Benoit DaugasT
riational record of 50 caps agaimi
International Board countries nn
Saturday. Bill Beaumont who set
a new record for an England
captain in the first match of the
championship against • Wales, will
be leading his country for the
seventeenth time. His thirtieth cap.
will put him level with Eric Evans
and seventh in the all "time Eng-
land list, those ahc3d of him being. •

Schools Head of the River title
yesterday in the thirty-fifth race
on tbe Tideway. Emanuel, start-
ing back in eleventh place,
scythed through tbe field and
their knowledge of their home
waters paid dividends over more
fancied rivals. The holders,
Shrewsbury, took time to find
their stride and their coxswalu
was a little unsure of the best
tidal route . home.
Shrewsbury and Emanuel were
tbe two eights to -catch the eye
and Emanuel, rating high, came
home by just four tenths of u
second. The other co-favou rites.
St Edward's and Radley, finished
third and fourth respectively. St
Edward's found some compensa-
tion in taking three of the eights
pennants.
Other schools to make giant
strides to reach the top 20 were
Shiplake, who jumped up from
fifty-eighth to tenth position, and
Radley C, who moved up 40
places. John Mason School,
Abingdon, were dear winners
over St Edward's to take the
fours head - in a time faster than

Amazons they may be, but the

terday looked no more titan that,
sixth formers good for a laugh,
though on char best behaviour.
Four were wearing Stars and
Stripes badges in their- blazer

Antonio, Texas, today to take

From tbe relaxed manner of
Wendy Norman, aged 16. from
Guildford, Janet Savage, 18. from
Tewkesbury, Teresa Purton. 19,
From Forest Hill, and Kathv
Tayler, 21, from Reading, you
would never guess what a battle

only with the Americans but aisn
among themselves. What is at
stake is selection for the British
ream to take part in the First

Golf Correspondent
Two voiuj” Scots, Gillian
Stewart and Pamela Wright,
seized a two-srrolcc lead on tbe
first day of tile Avia Watches
women’s Foursomes tournament
over the Berkshire Golf Club's
Blue course yesterday. They had
an opening round nf 75." turn
Tcwcr than Angela Uziclli and
Wiimcr Aitken and three fewer
than Pamela Bcnka and Shirley
Sutton.
This is a Fascinating starring
cast. Miss Stewart, at 22. is a
Curtis Cup player. Miss Wright
the gifted 16-year-old daughter of
a gifted mother, formerly Janette
Robertson, Miss Aitken yet an-
other promising young Scot. Mrs
UzieUi a dedicated golfer mas-
querading as a joker, and Mrs
Benka and Mrs Sutton two jokers
masquerading, for part of yester-
day, as serious golfers.
For all her youth Miss W right
was tbe motive force behind Yes-
terday’s top pairing. She tele-
phoned her mure iliu&triuus part-
ner to ask " if I’m not being ton
big headed ” whether Miss
Stewart could play with her this
week. It was their first uuting
together and they dovetailed
splendidly.
Miss Wright, according to her
partner, “ is a little star
already ”, with her compact solid
swing and tight short game. They
dropped two shots to par going
out and recovered two coming
home os a result of superb
seconds by Miss Wright, first with
a five-iron and then a three.
The greens were all that could
be expected So early In the season
but they still yielded a rich har-
vest, particularly from Mrs
UzieUi and her partner. Three
times in the first (our boles they
needed three putts, on one
occasion two from within a foot.
A bunker shot by Miss Aitken
nestled within an inch or two of
the ninth hole and thereafter they
played model par golf. Tliey Im-
proved on that at the 16th. where
a chip to 8ft by Mrs Uziclli and a
good putt by Miss Aitken stole
hack a stroke. They were out in
41. five over par, and back in 36,
one under.
Mrs Benka. once better known
as M is,-. Trcdlnnlch. played what
she called. a “ weird !* round with
Mrs Sutton, once bettor known 35
Miss Ward, and still better known
as Angela. Bonnallack’s sister.
Their report was hilarious. They
started 4, 7, 6 and finished
o. 3. 5. S, 5. 5.
During the intervening holes
they completely lost their form.
Mrs Benka began to mishit her
approach shot near the flag and
Mrs Sutton began nervelessly to
ram home the putts. In this way
they had three successive birdies
(rum the fourth, and at the next
Mr Sutton ao comprehensively
11 u rred a bunker shut tiia t Mrs
Benka’s putt was little more titan
a formality In this contradictory
mood.

Irish horse, ■ Daring Run. took a
narrow advantage. But Francome
was sitting as still as a mouse on
Sea Pigeon. Halfway up the' run-in
— and no sooner — -the favourite
was asked. for Ilfs final effort.
Quickening as only a great
horse can. Sea Pigeon produced
an unanswerable burst of finish-
ing speed to win by one and a half
lengths. Pollardstowo fought back
like a nger to take second place
by -a neck from Daring Run.
Slaney idol finished fourth. The
most, disappointing performance
of the race was that of Heigh (in,
who was beaten a long way from
home.
Pride was the chief emotion
showTi by all rhe principals after-
wards. Pride was uppermost, in
Francome's face as he rode Sea .
Pigeon back in triumph -to the un-
saddling enclosure. Peter Easterby
rould hardly bide his feelings,
though he managed to coocgal
toem to an exrent as he talked to
the press.
“ He's as good as ever. Sea
Pigeon’s work at borne has been
unbelievable. . in bis. -last gallop
he left Starfen for dead. We're
now on target for the Welsh and
Scottish Champion hurdles. Then
we’ll try for a- second Ebor. And
we’ll be back here for the treble
nevt year.”
Boastftil words, you may think.
But Easterby. a' shrewd and
Sea Pigeon (right) takes the final flight before winning the Champion Hurdle in a storming
humorous Yorkshireraan, has long
ago proved that actions, speak
louder than v»i»rds. Sea Pigeon has
now won 2l races under National
C0,Iec ti°8 a total of
Mu-' 60 ,n the process. He is
the biggest prize money winner in
the history of jumping, his total
surpassing the previous records
held by Night Nurse, Red Rum and
Comedy of Errors. He also won
roc onA .7 ~ v aunsu pouters on on a man note
—6,000 on the flat -for Pat Mul- .when Man Madden persuaded the
had to climb- the hill past tbe
stands. Tben it would have been
a thorough test of- stamina." Stan
Mellor said • that Ponardstown
would- now try to repeat Iasi
year’s victory in the Templegate
hurdle at Liverpool.
It was a magnificent after-
noon's racing in ever way. That
exuberant Irishman, Mick O'Toole,
started punters off on a high note
doon, bis owner. -
The sporting nature of the
winter game has never been
better demonstrated than by tbe
manner in wtticb the connexions
of Pollardstown accepted defeat.
The faces of all four joint owners
were on fire with excitement
afterwards.
" That was a real race ’f, Bill
TuHocb -said. "It- was proper
form and we weren’t disgraced at
all. I only- wish that they still
2-1 favourite, HartsfieJd, to pro-
duce a fine turn of foot in the
closing stages of the Waterford
Crystal Supreme Novices hurdle.
O’Toole has now saddled a win-
ner at each of the last seven festi-
val meetings.
Easterby started the Yorkshire
ball rolling when Clayside rallied
to win the Arkle' 'Challenge
contention. Bur be was back on
terms at the next jump and had
gone clear with the race in the
bag as the field turned for home.
The third Yorkshire victorv or
the afternoon came when Wag-
goners Walk cook advantage of
the second last fence fall or
Indecision to win the Kim Muir
Challenge Cup by 34 lengths for
Caroline Mason. The rest of the
day -belonged to Francome and
Fred Winter.
That enigmatic character Denting
Rose rurned the Waterford Crystal
into a procession, sprinting up the
final hm to beat Celtic Isle by 30
lengths. " He's a bit of a charac-
ter all right ”. Winter said. “ but
bis homework bas been much bet-
ter lately and he only keeps us
waiting for five or 10 minutes
l finish.
Winter had his second success
of the afternoon and Francome
his third when Friendly Alliance
came home 13 lengths dear of
Pine Brook, in (he Cheltenham
Grand Annual Steeplechase. Fran-
come- the man that hardened pro-
fessionals are now acclaiming as
the greatest jockey theybave ever
seen, is a 4-9 chance with Coral
to win his third jockey's title.
With the ground at Cheltenham
now officially described as soft
with heavy- patches, Ladbrokes
hare promoted Silver Buck to 5*— 1
joint favourite with Jack of
Trumps for tomorrow’s Tote Gold
Cup. Other leading prices arc:
6—1, Little Owl : 8—1. Night

By Michajl Phillips
Racing Correspondent:
A nag logs Daughter, the .brilliant
Irish mare who ran away with the
Arkle Chalenge Trophy a year
ago and wa? widely considered to
he one of tie bankers of the week
in the Queen Mother Champion
Sreeplechasc at Cheltenham ' this
afternoon, tray not be able to rake
part. . .
Her name s among the declared
runners, bur sbe was lame on’
Monday evenng after treading on
a flint or a jiece of glass while
at exercise ea-lier in the day. She
was still lameand discharging pus
from tbat would yesterday.
Her couoexnns have not aban-
doned hope of running her in tbe
race which has been her principal
target all seasoj. They wfll have
her shod thi.* morning before
making a final decision. If she
does take part, missing only one
day'# exercise should not be
enough to ruin bar chance. But
the scene a rouid the unsaddling
enclosure will be unbelievable,
even by Irtsi standards, if
Anaglogs Dauglter manages to
overcome her problems.
A year ago rfrer this remark-
able maie Jrad easily wnn rhe
Arkle Trophy, he only glimpse
we had of her was her lovely
head.- A few minutes earlier, her
rivals had seen only her tail as
she darted from fence to fence,
jumping superbly. Nor surpris-
ingly her victory was one of the
most memorable of the meeting
and. If she IS none the worse for
her setback, sbe should be very
. hard to catch again.
if £be cannot run Stopped could
take advantage of her absence,
particularly as last year’s easy
-winner, Chinrullah, has not
shown himself to be in the same
sort of form recenfiy. Michael
Dickinson and FnJke Wajwvn, the
trainers - of Rathgormaa and
Dramatist, respectively, think
otherwise.
Whether Anagipgs Daughter
runs or not. the Irish are likely
to have plenty to shout about .
earlier in tbe day as ' the Sun
Alliance Novice* Hurdle reaches
its climax, because both Dunaree
and Seen Ogne have run well
enough in Ireland recently to sug-
! ;est that they will aroacr a huge
oliowing. Dunaree won three
races in a row before running so
well for a .comparative beginner
against seasoned campaigners ' in
the Erin Foods Champion Hurdle.
* Tbat performance marks him as
rhe likely favourite, arid with
every justification, but T will give
Easy Fella one more chance. The
way bis challenge at Newbw
earlier this month petered ont half-
way up tbe straight indicated that
cither something was wrong with
him physically or he. did not stay
three miles. As fris trainer,
Nicky Henderson, could find no
fault whb bis health, be should’
be in his element again today
racing over this shorter trip.
The Sun Alliance' Steeplechase
looks like a match between Easter
Eel and Wayward Lad aJrfaougb .
the connexions of Captain John, -
Corbiere. Lesley Ann aod Two
Swallows will disagree. Having
seen Easter Eel win all his races
this season I have no intention of-
deserting him even though Michael
Dickinson is full of confidence in
Wayward Lad’s ability to cause
an upset.
- Easter Eel has . jumped around
Cheltenham successfully once
already this season, whereas Way-
ward Lad has not. and he has
beaten a horse of tbe class of
Drama riat. In addition, he will
be ridden by John Francome, who
is a master in the art of nursing
a horse through a rest as severe
as this.
• No matter how Wayward Lad
fares, Dickinson should leave tbe
course with at least one bite of
the cherry or perhaps two.
because even one so smart as
Henry Kissinger wDl find the task
of giving 19fb to his runner, Pols-
- deal Pop, too great in the Mild-
may erf Flete Challenge Crip.
Political Pop is a good jumper
for a novice and, with only lOst
on his back, a danger surely to
■Q- Half an hour earlier bis
stable .companion, Compton Lad,
should be capable of staying four
miles in the National Hunt
Steeplechase- berter than - most of
bis opponents as be is by an Ascot
Gold -Cup winner. Precipice -Wood,
and out of Snowdra Queen, who
was herself a good hunter chaser.
The Coral Golden Hurdle final
I am content to leave to Willie
Wumpkins and Jim Wilson for tbe
third time in as many vears.
Willie Wumpkins is not blessed
with the best of feet, jvhicb is
why he must have heavy ground
to be seen at his best. And that
is what he will get this afternoon
even after another drying day
vesterdav.

Silent Valley, the intended

tomorrow’s Cheltenham. Gold Cup.
has cracked his off-fore cannon
bone, and the eight-year-old
Northumbrian- based gelding’s
future is in -the balance,
.The accident happened when
Silent Valley had ius final work-
ouc on Monday on the gallops
at Wes ter hope, near Newcastle.
His trainer, . Ian Jordan,'' said :
“ The horse pulled up sound but
walked away f eelin gly so we. had
him examined by a portable X-rav
He was immediately sent up to
the Edinburgh Veterinary College,
where further X-rays confirmed
the damage to bis off-fore leg.
‘‘.He is having an operation in
which he will have screws or pin*
inserted into the leg, and we will
have to wait and see whether he
can race again. Jt*s a tragedy **.
Jordon added.

Boxing Correspondent
Alan Minter, Britain’s former-
world middleweight cbamnJon,
can breathe 3 tittle easier now.
Some of the heaviness that was
preMin- doom on his chest after
bis humiliating defeat at the bands
of Marvin Hagler was lifted last
/tight when he 'returned to
Wembley Arena, the scene of his
cal ami do us world title defence
last September, and beat Bernle
Singletary, a tou;h Philadelphian.
b.v the length of a street The
referee measured it 100 points to
95i.
From tb third round Minter took
charge, and he and his followers
marched down the street to chants
of “ Minter, Mincer ” : but every-
thing is soil not right with his
world, though it is no more like
the end of the world ir was. With
a couple more outings, like this
he should be able to face it and
Hagler with that fierce determina-
tion of bis.
Minter looked a bit subdued
and cold at the - start and as
Singletary worked to the body
and switched to the head in the
first two rounds, Minter was in
trouble twice as sruntnog rights
tq the jaw shifted his gumshield.
With Singletary hurting Winter to
the head there were moments
when it looked that be would
suffer another disastrous defeat ;
but Singletary was not able to
(and those blows often enough to
the top of tbe head— for be is
essentially a body puncher — to' test
Mincer’s eyes.
So tbe question mark still re-
mains. Minter wanted to look
away from the punches in the first
two rounds as the Philadelphian
threw them from both sides of the
Bnton’s head. Obviously Minter
was afraid of his eyes giving out
in tbe early rounds but in the
third, when he stood bis ground
and threw those lefts and rights
Rugby League
Straight from the .shoulder, Single-
tary’s knees sagged and be knew
he had been hit. ■ • ■
Whereas Singletary had done rhe
stalking up co tile .third, there was
a dramatic switch -round and from
then on it was Minter who was
.'dancing and. Jabbing,, in the fourth
he opened • up with " pinpoint
accuracy with ‘both ‘ hands thar
broke the American's resolve.
Singletary's blows, which bad
earlier had a whiplash quality,
now started to flv ponderously
through- -*he -air -and- Minter- had--
no difficulty picking him off.
Singletary was - a ready made
target for him as be came in with
his head forward, looking for
opening*. It seemed all over for
the American by tbe fourth as
Minter crashed ■ through what
Mole defence he could offer bat.
10 bis credit, be weathered ■ tbe .
assault when the ebanti of the
crowd to finish him off were the
loudeA-
Miater punished Singletary
severely in the fifth and sixth,
but then, as the American still
refused to go down. Minter de-
cided to make an evening - of it
and coast through. He bit -him
with some combinations, which
against a, fitter man he would
not have hpd a chance to try.
John L. Gardner, Britain’*
European heavyweight champion,
gained ibe strange.*! rictory'of hi*
career when lie knocked our.
Osvaldo “Jaws" Ocasio, of
Puerto -Rico, in 19 seconds of the
sixth round. Gardcnr bad
struggled through, five painful
rounds, taking merciless punish-
ment from the Sib heavier Puerto
Rican and it seemed ir would not
he Jong before Ocasio would catch
him udrh the left book and pur
him away. By the fifth round,
however. Ocasio's live-month lay-
off was beginning to tell ; when
the bell went for the sixth he was
a long time getting off his stool.
and Harrv Gibbs caw 1 tp tm ton
and asked ton to get o« of ios
corner: ■ '
Ocasio stood up. Gardner walked
up to him and tapped. Wm on. tbe
chin with a .punch tbat would not
even have knocked oat a fly, let
alone a flyweight. • “ Jaws ", who
now "began to show a sqt of tooth-
less paws' jnst rolled over on ids
back ! no one w as more surprised
tbaii' Gardner at bis lock- Ocasio
got up on one knee as Mr Gibb*
began to finish his count.
- the- Puerto- Rican had - boxed
loosely from a distance at tbe
start and bad caught Gardner over
and over again wi tb left hooks chat
shook him down to his boots. Tor
tbe first two rounds Gardner was
caught by the right feint as tbe
left whipped ir*.
Ey tbe third round ' Ocasio was
beginning to show signs of losing
’interest in the bout. He bulled bis
,way forward, using bis arms like
horns, to pin Gardner against tbe
ropes much to jSie crowd’s annoy-
ance. Gardner's best rounds were '
the fourth and fifth as Ocasio back-
pedalled on to the ropes, throwing
sn occasional right hand to deter
him : . but Gardner would not be
slowed dam and be persevered,
pressuring his opponent all tlie
time.
Then the end came in tbe sixth.
It was as much a relief to Gardner -
as to the man who was unable to
ger up. By this performance I do
not think 'Gardner will get himself
into the top ten ratings, but if he ■
somehow does, and meets tbe
world champion. I do not bold out
much hone lor him beyond cashing
in on a large pay-off. '
South Africin guests : Four
Argentine boxers arrived by air in
Johannesburg yesterday to prepare
for a programme on March 25..
that will include a Oy weight title
bout between Santos Laciar and
the black South African champion,
Peter Mathcbula. AP reports.
Carlisle set to follow Fulham’s example
By Keith Macklin
Three officials of the Rugby
League will irate b a football
match at Carlisle on Saturday and
the sequel could be the entry of
Carlisle United into the second
division of the Rugby League
next season. Directors oj die
club decided at a meeting on
Monday to invite senior officials
of the 13 -a -side game to B run ton
Park 10 examine the ground and
facilities. If Rugby League
officials are happy with what they
see, Carlisle board members will
almost certainlv apply to join the
League In time for the opening
of next . season in September.
Tbe Cumbrian club are not yet
totally committed to an applica-
tion, though as David Howes, the
Rugby League's public relations
officer, said: “ The indications
are good A deputation' from
Carlisle will go to Fulham for
Sunday’s match with Dewsbury
and the Craven Cottage ground
will be closely inspected .to sec
die effects. If any. of tbe double
dose of wear and tear from foot-
ball and Rugby League.
Carlisle have already asked
George Graham. the former
Workington Town chairman., to
act as consultant: the role which
Harold Genders performed so
successfully in the recruitment of
the Fulham side.
Mr Howes said : " Apart from
Carlisle, there is a possible ap-
plication from Charlton Athletic
in the pipeline. Other, clubs who
earlier expressed an interest* like.
Bolton Wanderers., Notts County,
Reading and Crystal Palace, are
holding back for another season
for a variety of reasons. Some
clubs have been affected by the
economic climate. • some have
been put off by our request for
a long-term commitment aod
some want to give the Fulham ex-
periment another year’s examina-
tion.”
-Cardiff City are- one club who
are pursuing their interest. 'Ron
Jones, their general manager,
will have discussions with League
officials next mouth. '
Tonight at Craven Park, Hull,
England meet Wales to decide
who wins the wooden spoon in the
European championship, which
was woo by France at Headingley
last month.
• Unless there is' a major upset
In form, the sackcloth and ashes
wfll again adorn Woles, who
rarely .seem to put together as a
team the sum of tbcic Individual
pans. On the England side, the
injured scrum-half Paul Haritin is
replaced hy Steve Nash, a
skilled international veteran who
might have thought his Interna-
tional career was over. The skill
and experience of Nash will be a
vital factor for England.
Steve Rule, the Salford full-
back. gers his first Welsh cap and
Martin Herdman,' rhe FuTham for-
ward who has made a spectacular
rise jn the game, is 9 substitute. .
Both qualify through Welsh. an-
cestry rather than through Welsh
nationality. . and Herdmim’s
appearance in a Welsh party is
something of a fairytale. Less than
three months ago be was playing'
amateur Rugby League with Peck-
ham and was told by the Fulham
player-coach, Reg Bowden, *• to
?er a little more experience **.
He first appeared in the FuBtam
team only a matter of wce!& ago
and has since made remarkable
strides.
John Sevan will' captain the
Welsh side. Paul PrendhriUe, tb*
Hull winger, would have been
included in the parry but fti|r ah
injury be sustained at Barrow on
Sunday.

Ellis demolishes
Maltby to topple
Cambridge
By Roy MoKelvie
Oxford, having won die doubles
march on Monday, shared the
singles yesterday to beat Cam-
bridge by 2 — 1 in the University
match at Queen's. Club. Richard
Ellis, (Haileybury and St Edmund
Hail), ibe Oxford second string,
demolished William Maltby
(Wellington and Magdalene) by
15—2, 15 — 3, IS— 5, a swingeing
victory. Then tbe Cambridge
first strong, Andrew McDonald
(Malvern and St John's), bear
WilUam Hollington (Haileybury
and St Edmund Hall) by 12—15,
IS— 9, IS— 0, IS— 10.
ELUs was in a class of his own
and would probably have dealt as 1
severely with McDonald as he did
with Maltby. McDonald and
Hollington, however, were well
matched, tbe winner being the
more mobile and ■ more con-
sistent and a better returner of
service.
Given time, Hollington bad the
heavier shots but be had difficulty
In judging the bail off the side
and hack wans, a fact tbat
McDonald. ■ after losing the first
game from 11 — 2 , used to his
benefit. The match began co turn
his way in the middle of the
second game.
McDonald won tbe third game j
to love in one hand. HolJington,
his bead bowed sod shoulders
bunched, ambling from side to 1
vide as If he had forgotten where 1
he was- He made a sterner effort ;
in the fourth game., putting some j
weight into his strokes and pro- 1
during occasional service winners.
Hollington led 10 — 7, but
McDonald, whose improvement j
through the match was noticeable. |
finished him off in one hand.

Are the criminals getting on top?
The Government has a firm
law and order policy, more police
, are being recruited but still the
. unsolved crime figures rise . . .
The low percentage of 'crime
cleared up by the Metropolitan
Police and an attack on the
efficiencv of the South \ork-
shire Force by the chairman oi
its- Police Authority are indica-
tions that the Government'!
law and order strategy is fad-
ing. ■
Mr .George Moores, the Auth-
ority chairman, said : " We are
not getting value For money.. Ir
seems that for the increasing
sums of money we pour into the
service each year, there is a
progressive reduction in detec-
tion rates.”
The South Yorkshire _ police
budget was £22m in 19/ 7 and
£42m this year. Though Police .
the Police Federation journal,
claims that South Yorkshire’s
detection rate is the highest of
all Metropolitan forces in the
country, it fell from 51.7 per
cent in 1979. to 46.7 per cenr
last vear;
While part of the fall is reck-
oned to be because of Home
Office changes in the compiling
nf statistics, the Home Office
denies there has been any alter-
ation of the formula for crime
counted .as. “cleared up”.
The most disturbing fact
about the official figures pre-
sented bv the Metropolitan
Police in London is that, while
□umbers ' of police .have in- .
creased, the percentage of
crimes cleared up and the
actual^ number of arrests are
lower than they were. Yet the
recruiting of extra police is so
important a part of the Govern-
ment’s strategy that it is being
given extra protection in its
projected expenditure, while
cuts outside the area of law
ar-d order are in some cases
sa^.’ge.
The , Government’s White
Paper on Public Expenditure
forecasts growth in police
strength in England and Wales
from 115,900 officers on March
31 to 119.000 in 1983-84. "If
the forecast for any year is
exceeded,” the White Paper
nays, “ further provision will be
made both for the cost of addi-
tional manpower within indi-
vidual establishments and for
the associated expenditure on
equipment, training and other
support services ”.
Merely recruiting more
off-icers is not enough. Police
in some places are involving
themselves more with the com-
munity, acknowledging the ex-
tent to which they depend .on
the public’s support
Far from Government being
able to reduce serious crime,
the official figures suggest that
in some parts of the country
the police are in danger of
being overwhelmed. The 1980
figure of crimes recorded,
which will go into the annual
report of Mr James Anderton,
Chief Constable of Greater
Manchester, when it is pub-
lished later this year, will show
increases in the last two years
of 5.2 per cent and 4.6 per cent.
The police regard the kind
of crime that has most sharply
Increased as virtually unpre-
ventable and not easily detect-
able. Burglary in dwellings in
Greater Manchester increased
by almost 24 per cent in 1980
and in other premises bv more
tiian 16 per cenr. Robberies
and assaults with intent to rob
rose by 31 ocr cent and arson
and criminal damage by 28 per
cent.
1 Catching extra

itself, is the

Some part of the e-xfra cri-
minal damage recorded may be
due to inflation, as it is not
included if less rban £20 in
value.. But the police regard as
“ exceed iagly worrying” the
phenomenal rise in arson in
Greater Manchester Front 287
recorded cases in 1977 coating
£756.198 to 415 in 1980 casting
£9,222,621.
Under such shocks. Greater
Manchester's clear-up rate
dropped From 50.5 per cent in
1975 to 41.3 per cent last year.
The clear-up rate for the Metro-
politan Police in London has
fallen during the past 10 years
from 28 per cent in 1971 to
20 per cent last year and the
year before.
The Metropolitan police
cleared up only one in nine bur-
glaries last year, which now
account for a fifth of all their
reported serious crime._Burgl.a-
ries have risen from 77,667 in-
1971 (46,024 of them residential!
to 123,806 (75,086 residential)
last year.
In Manchester, r he number
fas opposed to the percentage)
of crimes actually detected has
increased between 1975 and
1980 by 7.8 per cent, but in
London the number of crimes
cleared up has actually fallen
from a high point of 119,817 in
1977 to 116,892 in 1980. Arrests
fell by more than- 5,000 over the
same period. Yer since 1977,
the strength of the Force has
risen by 1,452.
The cost of crime and deal-
ing with it. is already
enormous. A- detailed analysis
by The Times in 1975 estimated
ir to be £2, 000m. Since Janu-
ary 1975 prices have risen
overall by 131 per cent. The
question is, what sort of invest-
ment bv the Government in
fighting’ crime would really be
worthwhile. At present, it can
have no real idea. The official
measurements of crime are
more than useless ; they are
misleading.
Even assuming it was true
that recruiting extra police
would automatically lead to- a
corresponding improvement of
clear-up rates, the effect could
be disastrous for the potentially
explosive prison system, unless
courts could be persuaded or
forced (by legislation) to
reduce mrnioers given custodial
sentences and the length of
sentences imposed. Prisons
have to take the numbers they
are senr. _ Catching extra
criminals, desirable though that
is in itself, is the equivalent of
producing unwanted cars which
have then to be left to rust in
store. In the case of offenders
they are warehoused in
prisons.
Because research suggests
there is about 10 times as much
crime as is actually recorded by
the police, it could be that more
of some sorts of crime is end-
ing up- in the statistics as a
result of there being more
officers to bear abour it.
Bui if there are 10 rimes as
many crimes as are officially
recorded char makes the clear-
. up rates look even sicker. The
20 per cent cleared up by the
Metropolitan Police would fall
to a mere two per cent and
Greater Manchester's figure to
four per cent.
Of course, it is unfair to criti-
cize the police for failing to
solve crimes - not reported to
them, but evidence, is accumulat-
ing showing how much they
actually do depend on the pub-
lic. Faith in detective, work as
a prune means of solving crime
is one of the casualties of re-
cent research.
In The Effectiveness of Polic-
ing (published by Gower i which
they edit. R. V. G. Clarke and
J. M. Hough, of the Home
Office Research . Unit, say that
studies emphasize that most
detections are. of a routine
nature and that detectives are
heavily dependent both on in-
formation readily available at
the scene of the crime and on
admissions by offenders already
charged with other offences.
“ Only a small proportion of
crimes are detected by pro-
cedures typically thought to
comprise ‘real detective work'
— that is rhe sifting of forensic
evidence, the methodological
elimination of suspects and the
use of informants.'*
How few crimes are cleared
up by detective work is con-
firmed in a book bv Keith
Bottomley and Clive Coleman of
Hull University to be published
soon by Gower (Understanding
Crime Rates).' Of 1,020 cl eared-
up crimes they examined, 28
per cent were admitted, under
questioniag. They reflect the
efforts of police to induce
known offenders to _ clear up
other crimes. Another 24 per
‘cent were cleared up as a. result
of the public- (mainly victims)
giving information which led
to identification of offenders ;
four per cent were detained by
a citizen and 10 per cent by
special agents (almost entirely
store detectives).
David Steer, a tutor at the
Police College, B rams hill,
Hampshire, found in another
study for the Royal Commission
on 'Criminal Procedure that
rhreequarters of suspects were
caught carrying out the -crime,
were still at" the scene when the
police arrived, were known
from the outset or were among
a small number of people who
had ihe opportunity to commit
the crime.
Until criminal statistics
actually give police the informa-
tion that can enable them to
focus Their efforts more pro-
ductively. it is useless for
governments to . expect money
poured into fighting crime to
achieve results that will impress
the electorate. Law and order,
for all -the good intentions of
campaigning politicians at elec-
tion times, will hare only bogus
appeal.

Melvyn Westlake examines the uneven rate of progress among the poorer nations
Why some stride out
It is only in the last 30 .years
that economic development has
become a major goal for -most
of what were once known as
the world's backward regions
and are today called the
developing countries— or collec-
tively, and more vaguely, the
Third World. There are more
than 100 such countries, the
vast majority of which did not
exist as sovereign states at the
end of the Second World War.
Overall, these countries have
made impressive strides -during
the past three decades, but the
experience has been far from
uniform. The 40 or so poorest
nations (those ' with national
income per head of population
of $360 or less in 1978) have,
on average, grown more slowly
than the ** middle income ”
Third World states (with
incomes per head of between
$360 and $3,500), and the rich
industrial nations (with an
average income per head -of
$8,070 in 1978).
As a consequence, ihe gap
between the poorest and the
richer nations has widened,
both relatively and 'absolutely,
contrary to'the view expressed
by Professor F. A. Hayek in an
article in these columns last
January.
However, it is also true that
there has been some diversity
of experience even among the
panrest nations, and it does not
follow that they have all done
worse than the’ rich countries,
nr ihat .some of the latter have
not performed badly. There
would certainly appear in be
no fixed relationship between
the level of national income that
Third World countries started
with, a generation ago, and their
subsequent rates of economic
growth.
• At the-same time there is no
evidence either to support the
argument, also advanced by
Hayek, that those developing
nations that have done well-
have been - those . that have
promoted “effective market
economies”, and those that
have done badly are tbe ones
that have followed a socialist
road to development.
For all developing countries
taken together, the last 30 years
has been a period of quite
remarkably rapid economic
growth. The annual average
increase in gross national pro-
duct per person in Third World
nations has been around 3-31
per cent (the precise figure
depends on which countries are
included in the calculation).
This was similar to average
growth in the industrialized
nations over the same period,
but abour twice as fast as
today's rich nations achieved
during the preceding Three-
quarters of a century. More-
over, for much of the Third
World it followed several mil-
lennia of little or no economic
change.
However, the record is de-
cidedly bleaker when considered
at a less generalized level. Fn a
study undertaken for the World
Bank, covering the period 1950-
75. Professor Morawetz showed
that, on the one hand, nine
countries with a combined
population of 930 million people
in 1975 grew at an average
annual rate of 4.2 per cent or
better, and a second group of
nine countries, with 220 million
people grew at 3-4 per cent. On
the ocher hand the large, poor
countries of . South Asia and
many countries in Africa, with
a tora I of 'some 1,100 million
people, experienced per’ capita
income growth of less than 2
per cent a' year.
Thus, although it was true
that per capita income had
roughly trebled for some 33 per
cent of the peo'ple of tbe devel-
oping world during the period,
it was also true that for another
40 per cent the increase in per
capita income bad been only
one or two dollars a year.
The group of fastesr growing
nations included hoth the'
People’s Republic of China ('one
of the world's 'poorest nations)
and Taiwan. Other poor coun-
tries. such as South Korea and
Thailand, which in 1950 would
have been numbered among the
bottom group of " low income **
countries, also did better than
average.
Neither does there seem to be
any clear pattern among the
middle-income communist coun-
tries. In the 1960s and 1970s
Cuba experienced a decline in
per capita income while North
Korea. Romania and Yugoslavia
grew faster.
The result of 30 vears growth
in the developing world has
nm. however, greatly affected
the income gap between rich
and ponr countries. As,
overall, the developed and
developing nations urew at a
similar rate, the relative “ gap ’’
has held fairly constant.
Between 19.70 and 1973 the
average per capita income in
the Third " World remained
around 7 to 8 per cent of that
of the industrialized countries,
according to the Morawetz
study.
Some developing countries
managed to narrow the relative
gap, others saw it widen. But
the absolute gap between tbe
developed and developing coun-
tries widened in all cases. In
every region the absolute gap
at least doubled, even -where
Third World growth was most
rapid. In 1950 the average
gross national product per
capita in the industrialized
nations (in 1974 dollars) was
52.191 greater than far the
average in developing coun-
tries. By 1975 this difference
had more than doubled to
54,839.
This is because of the algebra
of gaps. Even where a de-
veloping country is growing
twice as fast as the industrial-
ized nations, tbe absolute gap
will continue to widen until per
capita gross national product in
the developing country reaches
half that of the rich nations.
If historical growth rares
were maintained, the absolute
gap would never be closed for
the large majority nf develop-
ing countries, containing most
nf the world's population. Even
among the fastest growing
developing countries (excluding
a couple of oil-rich ones) only
eight would close the absolute
gap within JDO years, according
to Morawetz: and only 16
would close it within *1.000
years.
The difficulty of comparing
the economic performance of
those Third World nations
which have centrally planned
economies with those regarded
as having market economies (as
Hayek does) is that the dis-
tinction is very blurred. Only
a bandful of developing
countries are avowedly com-
■ munist, but most of them use
the agency of the state to
pursue a wide range of social
and economic objectives. Many
also undertake some economic
planning and deploy a battery
of controls on trade. Few
allow ihe price mechanism full
sway.
In South Korea, which is
usually held up as a paragon
of capitalist virtue. the
government has played an
active role in the economy.
The massive export assault was
accompanied by a considerable
range of impart controls.
The government had over-
whelming cnntrol of the
organized banking sector, effec-
tively directing about two-thirds
of investment reasources in the
early 1970s. That is a measure
of control achieved by few coun-
tries outside the communist
block. The' public sector
absorbed a substantial slice of
these investment resources. In
Brazil, too, rhe stare sector was
crucial to the country’s
“economic miracle”, and the
biggest domestic companies are
Mute-owned.
Bur economic development in
the Third World is not solely
growl h. Equally important is
the reduction of poverty and
an improvement in rhe material
welfare oF the people. It i-> in-
creasingly accepted that growth
by itself is unlikely to solve or
even greatly alleviate the prob-
lem of poverty in any reason-
able time. The reduction of
poverty requires policy
measures aimed at- achieving
that end. 1
Over the last 30 years the pro-
portion of people in absolute
f mverty is thought to have fal-
en. but because population lias
increased, the number in abso-
lute poverty has risen. Average
life expectancy has increased
from 42 to 54 years. The pro-
portion of adults who are
literate has risen from about
30 per cent to .more than 50 per
cent.
Again, the advances have not
been uniform. In some countries
the benefits of economic growth
have . not been fully shared
with their poorest citizens
because income inequality has
increased. Most Third World
communist countries (including
Cuba, whjch has .seen little eco-
nomic growth in 20 years) get
high fnarks for the level of life
expectancy or literacy — or both
— and income equality. So do
fast-growing states such as
South Korea and Taiwan, and
slow-growing nations such as
Tanzania and Sri Lanka (in re-
lationship to their positions j»
the poverty league).
It would seem that, those
countries that have had- most
success in reducing poverty are
those that, regardless of politi-
cal system and economic strat-
egy. have deliberately and
decisively sought to do so.
The nicest
bandwagon you
ever saw
Here’s a frightfully good
wheeze, reported by Elgy
Gillespie in The Sunday Times.
The Irish Prime Minister, Mr
Charles Haughey (the Harold
Wilson of the Celtic Twilight),
has announced that' 150 “ crea-
tive artists” (the term
embraces playwrigh is, . novelists,
sculptors, painters, composers,
screen printers, photographers,
bards and poets) are to be put
on the state -payroll at 4,000
jimmy-o’gobliifs a year -each.
The j ira ray -o’go Wins in question
are Irish , ones, ir is true (and
should therefore perhaps more
appropriately be called jimmy-
o’ leprechauns), and the prat is
at present at a discount ; all the
same, considering that the
recipients don't actually have to
do anything at all for the
money, it should not be sneezed
at, and I don’t suppose will be.
Ihe first 150 free-Ioaders, inci-
dentally, are to be selected by
the Irish Arts Council, but after
that they will select. themselves.
(I bet they will. Literally, I
should' think.)
There is a good deal to be
said about this caper, and in a
moment T shall say it. First,
however, I have, to ask a ques-
tion, and it is rhe only question
that will be asked by anybody
in. Ireland or elsewhere who
can, by ■ any effort of the
imagination, persuade himselE
that he is, or can give a decent
imitation of, a creative artist :
please, Sir, where do I apply , to
get iny bread in the gravy ?
For you must nor suppose
that vou have to be Irish of the
Irish' ro qualify for this lovely
shamrock -coloured lolly. When
ir comes to giving other people’s
' money to coa-men the Irish
Government is plainly as warm-
hearted as Lambeth Council it-
self; foreign chancers already
Firing off the fat of the land In
the Republic under the scheme
that allows “ creative artists”
to escape taxation* there (a
scheme presumably instituted
because it was felt that such
folk might add a bit 6f tone to
the place) can leap aboard the
bandwagon, as can those born
jn- Ireland and living abroad,
□ever mind all those of Irish
descent who can bear to visit
the old sod long enough to pick
up their winnings ; indeed, 1
have a distinct feeling that any-
body who isn't so. colour-blind
that he can’t tell the difference
between green and orange at
ten paces has -only to stand with
his mouth under the tap and Mr
Haughey will do the rest.
Well, my own order of priori-
ties is clear: first me. then
vou. 1 have often reminded the
world that my grandfather was
one of the O'Levins of Co . Kil-
dare, and there can be few in a
position to deny it authorita-
tively; that I am a creative

*°The^ delusion that art can be
produced bv money, or by any.
Sting at all for that matter,
is one of the most persistent
and deeply rooted of our time.
which is (he more remarkable
in view of the fact lhar it u
of sSh recent origin It be-
trays, of course, a fundamental
misunderstanding of what art
is which is nor surprising, be-
cause nobody can .say what art
is. But at any rate it is pos-
sible to »y vN-hat it is not.
It is not something that can
be made out of anything «.
ternal to the artist, except in
the obvious sense that sights,
and sounds and experience?
are external to the artist and
provide much of the ntr
material which, when (and
only when) it has been tract
ranted in. the alembic of the
artist’s psyche, turns into art.
The late John Culshaw, in Rui^
Resounding, his book about the
first complete recording of the
Ring, by Decca, tells of the
review of the mighty pro-
ject. in a magazine which
though it saluted Deoca's re-
markable Technical achieve-
ment. bemoaned the fact tfiat
it had been applied to a
foreign composition. Was
there no equivalent English .
work? If not. could not one
have been commissioned? No,
one’ could not ( have been
commissioned, and the reason
has nothing to do with tbe
quality of Wagner’s music.
Only artists can produce art;
art can be produced only by
artists. In that pair irf.
tautologies lies .the whole,
truth about rbe whole be sines*
of paying creators 1 to create,
which is that it is a uaste of-
time and money to do air such
thing. If there is art inside a
man, it will come out; if there
is none, no fishing-lim* though
the hook be baited w.ih good'
red gold, will be long 1 enough.
' or .strong enough, to- drag it .
forth.
This is not at all {he same
thing as the belief thjt hunger
is good for creation. (Hunger,
isn’t good for anythhg except
over-eating, and let; us never
forget that.) Itself a product
of an effete romanicism, the
belief insists that fhe proper '
place for an artist i in an un-
heated garret, his function, to
produce niasrerpiees by gut-
tering candlelight. Veil, Mozart
did. Beethoven dijn’t; Milton-
didn’t, Charterton^did; Ibsen
first did. then adn’t: Rem-
brandt first didn,, then did.
Neither poverty ror affluence
can either pro'dtxfr or inhibit
art: both are irrievant to it.
Indeed. I have tften thought
that you can almost define art
by this method; Igive a poor
artist money, and tee if ie pro-
duces better art, J take *wav a
rich artist’s wealii. and see if
his creative spribg drjes up.

Sharp-eyed, .readers may have,
noticed a subtle change in the
appearance nf parts of this
newspaper in recent days. The
reason is r hut the long and
painful process of exorcising
rhe ghost of William Caxton
has finally begun : since Mon-
day morning, some of our
words have been turned to type
by computer.
For the time being the Lon-
don Diary continues to he
hacked from a black of granite
by a man with a flint axe, but
if you turn today to the Spci.il
Focus page. the property
column or the broadcasting
guide, you - will find the New
Technology at work.
It is the intention that the
entire editorial content of the
newspaper should have “ gone
cold " by about midsummer.
Later, when the omnipotent'
computer has seized -control of

the last Linotype hot mer.il
composing machine, one of the
wonders of mechanical inven-
tion. will be carried out of the
back” door at dead of night and
conveyed to a waning rause*im.
I have been upstairs to in-
spect the hardware, and I can
tell you that it is all very mys-
terious and frightening to" a
simple grubby-collared news-
hound. partly because compu-
ter men. who all wear clean
collars, speak a language nf
their own. They gave me an
“ overview ” which is rheir
word for u quick guided tour,
not .i chance tn look at the

The computer is housed in
an air-conditioned room with
double security doors and
grilles in the floor which emit
clouds of poison gas in case
of fire — a final solution for
recalcitrant employees, per-
haps. The compositors, who
also wear clean collars under
the new system, sit outside in
a quiet, carpeted room, tapping
nut green, luminous words on
television screens.
The temptation to try out-
witting this insufferably 'clever
box of silicon chips is
immense, and it is nm diffi-
cult. A colleague baffled two
successive computer terminals,
first by writing a story in
Greek, and second by feeding
a string of very rude words
into the system.
“ If you do that ”. admonished
the bead computer man sternly,'
" it wilt degrade (he mainframe
response time.” I rhink he
meant.it would slow things up.
I notched up my own private
disaster by feeding the com-
puter a highly spurious story
about certain notable public
personages .and then attempt-
ing to pet it back un the screen
to savour its improbable and
shockingly seditious detail.
” You have cocked it up ", said
the computer man., aud the
screen concurred by flashing
the cryptic message : “ No such
command in daiahase.”
“That story is lo.'t forever
into the ether. It no longer
exists”, said the computer man

and other ministers is that Mon-

troubles to come. :
- These troubles will be of two
kinds. The first is that there Is
now. a general drop of confi-
dence in the Government on the
Conservative backbenches. There
higgesribacfebench revolt against day^ embarrassments may- be
the Government since it. took
office-
This cannot have come as a
surprise to. the Whips or to
ministers. They must have known
from the • mood of the back-
benchers — almost from the
moment that the 'Chancellor sat ...
down op Tuesday afternoon, but was probably never a majority
certainly by Wednesday — that' ~ ''
there was bound to be asubstan-
tial pro tear at some stage. Petrol
tax provides a convenient issue
for those who are dissatisfied
with the Budget on wider grounds
because the increase has aroused
particularly strong Feelings
among many traditional Tory
supporters- in rural areas. It is
therefore. possible for MPs from
such' constituencies to rebel-
wirhout upsetting their local
associations. Indeed, they can
claim '.to be performing the
traditional function of an MP in
representing . his constituency’s
interests at Westminster.
The at tent of tbe revolt was
enough to be. severely embarras-
sing, but' not to inflict more
immediate damage on the Gov-
ernment than that.' All the
Budget resolutions were passed,
even if with a disconcertingly
small majority for the petrol tax.
Sir Geoffrey has not been forced
of Conservative MPs who were
positively convinced by . Mrs'
Thatcher’s doctrines. There were
always minorities on the right
and left who respectively loved
and loathed these doctrines.' Tbe
general body of Conservative
MPs liked the thrust towards .
lower taxes and less government,
and they hoped she was right. .
The election victory did much
to assure them that she was,
because the Conservatives have
a relish for electoral victory
beyond that of any other
party. But now they see
ministers failing ro achieve
their objectives and. the Cabinet
living in a state of apparently
perpetual discord that bad pre-
viously been associated with
Labour administrations. Sceptic-
ism abour the Government has
grown among backbenchers who
are not to be numbered among
the habitual critics. Monday’s
events were a symptom of rhis
trouble
'that was foreshadowed by Mon-
day’s revolt .is tbaf the Govern-’
meat may well have problems in.
-. getting the proposed petrol tax
increase through Parliament un-
- changed when the Finance Bill
comes along. The Budget resolu-
tions could not be amended : it
. was therefore a choice between
accepting the proposed level- of
tax or rejecting any increase In
' petrol tax at all. But the Finance
Bill can be 'amended, so it. will
be possible to vote for, say, halt
the increase proposed by the
Chancellor.
The critics will claim that the
full increase Would discriminate
too harshly against the rural way
of life, and that it would push up
industrial costs excessively. But
rhese-are not arguments that Sir
Geoffrey can accept wirhin the
terms of his own Budget strategv.
He has got to raise the revenue
somehow. It would be worse to
put up VAT again or to increase
the standard- rate of income tax.
Petrol is cheaper, in any event,
in Britain than in most other
European countries and the pro-
posed increase .barely' restores
the tax to the 1973 percentage of
retail price. Most importantly of
all, it is capiral spending For
investment, not current spending
for consumption,- which requires
advocacy. Whatever other criti-
. cisms may be made of tbe Budget,
and whatever -political. embarass-
inents ministers may face, this
is an issue on which the Govern-
ment should stand firm.

STRUGGLE FOR POWER IN SYRIA
Reports of violence in the Syrian
town of Hama over the past nine
months are further evidence that
the ' regime of President Hafez
Assad is under consistent pres-
sure from a widely based opposi-
tion- movement. The regime has
been trying for over a year now
to track down and eliminate its
enemies. It has brought • into
being a range of security forces,
some under the command of the
President’s brother. Colonel
Rifeat Assad, and all ruthless in.
their, methods. They carry, out
indiscriminate reprisals on a
large scale when .government
officials are assassinated. The
incidents at Hama have- -been
echoed at Homs, in Aleppo and
in Damascus itself.
The failure of such methods to
eradicate opposition is largely
due to . the organization, and
underground experience of the
Assad regime’s principal oppo-
nent, the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood’s strength lies
in its very shadowiness, and in
its ability to channel resentment
against the Assad brothers, who
are nominally fellow Muslims but
come from the minority Alawite
sect, which is widely’ disliked.
The Muslim Brotherhood, by
of the Sunni branch of Islam, to
which most Syrians adhere.
The Brotherhood was founded
in Egypt in 1928, with the aim
of establishing by paramilitary
means a state in 'which funda-
mentalist Islam would hold sway
in all aspecLs of national life —
social 'and political as well as
religious. Numerous setbacks
have not sapped this ambition.'
least of all in Syria* where a
strong branch of the Brother-
hood was established early on.
Even the massacre of over 500
Muslim Brothers, at Palmyra jail
last summer left the organization’
thirsting for revenge rather tban
reeling from the blow.
The declared aim of the
Muslim Brotherhood is to over-
throw President Assad. Some of
its leaders have spoken of a
“final push”. by the end of this
year. Certainly, Syria’s descent
towards civil war comes at a rime
when the- Assad regime is in-
creasingly isolated internation-
ally, as well as shaky internally.
Damascus is alone in the Arab
world, and has only, the friend-
ship of Colonel Gaddafi, which is
a dubious asset.- Even Russia’s
friendship is of . doubtful value,
since Moscow is quite capable of
contrast, draws on the traditions', switching its protection among
rival power groups whenever
expedient.
For the moment, however, the
Soviet Union is. likely- ro keep its
money on President Assad, if
only ' because the alternative— a
revivalist, Islamic regime — is
even less palatable: Tn any case,
the President controls the Army,
which is the key to power in
Syria, and he has deliberately
courted the merchant class,
which would otherwise be one of
the main potential sources of
support for a Muslim Brother-
hood-regime. ■ "
It is also doubtful whether the
people of Syria would -really,
benefit, by having the Muslim
Brothers installed in place of rhe
“ Alawite Mafia ” in Damascus.
According to their “ revolution-
ary manifesto ”, if they came to
power, the Erotherbood would
abolish prisons and torture ; bold
“ direct election's ” ; permit free-
dom of speech and assembly: aitd
even refrain from taking revenge
on Assad supporters. There must
however- be a suspicion — borne
our by historical precedent — that

PRESIDENT REAGAN’S AWKWARD GUEST
This week’s visit to Washington
by General Viola, who is to take
office as President of Argentina
later this month, is a sign of the
new policies .being adopted
towards Latin America by the
Reagan Administration. .The
Argentine military - regime has
one -of -the worst human, rights
retards in the region, and the
Carter Administration tried to
improve it by, for instance, a bah
on arms sales. By contrast, Mr
Reagan has announced that he
will ask. Congress to lift the ban,
which is likely to be agreed ; and
the emphasis in the talks General
Viola has been having has. been
on defence of the western hemis-
phere rather than human rights.
This approach is very much in
line with the Administration’s
policy in El Salvador, with its
backing for rhe military rule
there regardless of its human
rights record, and its emphasis
on tbe global struggle against
communism. And Chile has been
getting similar treatment. Presi-
dent Pinochet’s regime has made
itself something of an inter-
national outcasL since its over-
throw of the Allende government
in 3973. It also committed an act
of extraordinary effrontery when,
it organized the assassination in
Washington in 1976 of Orlando
Letelier. a prominent Chilean
exile ; when the Santiago autho-
rities refused to extradite three
Chilean officers alleged to have .
been responsible, the Carter
Administration * imposed sanc-
tions, among them the stopping
of export credit guarantees.
These sanctions have been lifted
by the new Administration, and
the Chilean Navy is to take part
once again in combined
manoeuvres with the United
States and other Larin American
countries.
There are plenty of indications,
therefore, that American policy
under Mr Reagan could be slip-
ping back into a traditional pat-
tern, of support for established
interests and military regimes.
On rhis reading, policy towards
El Salvador is only the most
extreme example of an attitude
which refuses to see that the
crying need throughout much. oF
Latin America is for social and
economic reform; and which
tends to see all leftist move-
ments, whether terrorist or not,
as part of . an international con-
spiracy. Historically, this has
been the attitude of much of
American business, as well as
the military, and thev have had
much too much 'influence on
Washington's policies towards its
southern neighbours. In small
countries, like Cuba and Nica-
ragua, the result has been that
when an unpopular dictatorship
is overthrown, the new leader-
ship has been lair game for the
Russians and so fulfilled the
worst fears of the -right.
For the time being, however.
American policy towards Latin
America is still in the process
oF formation. The hope must be,
therefore, thar once it gets into
its stride, the new Administra-
tion will see, the need to avoid
tbe simple counter productive
responses of the far right. There
are already signs of doubts about
making to El Salvador a test of
virility. Major d’Aubuisson, the
extreme rightist 'who^ called for
a coup in El Salvador, has been
disowned ; and support reaf-
firmed for President Duarte’s
regime which, amid the appalling
bloodshed, has made some effort
at reforms.
■' The larger countries of South
America are different. There is
not the same immediate danger
of civil war and revolution. But
for a number of reasons Ameri-
can influence has been greatly
reduced, in what was once an
. area on which it could rely on.
This is partly a matter of econ-
omic inroads made by Japanese
and Europeans, partly of greater
self-confidence. It was a con-
siderable shock for the
Americans when they found
that neither Brazil nor Argen-
tina was prepared to back
them in their grain embargo
against the Soviet Union follow-
ing the Afghanistan invasion.
In making an effort to reestab-
lish good relations with the
military dictatorships of the
Southern Cone, therefore, the
Americans are pursuing an
understandable interest. The
Carter Administration, which had
prises which will be none of these.- but.. nor when there- is work-ta hd

its erratic behaviour, as well as
his human rights policy, had
been moving in the same direc-
tion. But the Reagan Administra-
tion should not give up the
leverage it still has in the region
by giving the impression that it
no longer cares about human
rights. Whether in El Salvador.
Argentina or Chile, it should con-
tinue to press with ail its weight
for what are, after all, American
standards of decency.
Cut price air fares
From Lady Burton of Coventry and
Lady Elliot of Harwood
Sir, Truly we. live in an age of
bureaucracy : are systems made for
travellers or travellers for systems ?
Since November we have been trying
to get something done about the
availability of cheap air fures: in
particular to solve the system which
last year allowed some five million
discounted air' tickets to be sold by
bucket shops at discounts of up to
60 per cent when the law, the
Government and JATA (the Inter-
national Air Transport Association)
declare this to be illegal.
Tt really is complete non. sen sc.
What is the use of a law thar every-
one ' ignores — including _ those
responsible for framing ir ? The
Government' says that 1ATA is _a
trade organization and 'that it is
nor possible for a government to
impose its views on the members
nf that association. IATA says thar
h is powerless ro deal with the
matter while Britain is lax in apply-
ing the law.
Of course airlines in membership
of IATA arc not allowed to discount
their tickets to bucket shops : tm
the other hand at least 40 major
airlines do so. Surely these airlines
and IATA should now deal with
the matter. After ail, they- are the
trade organization. The holiday
season is upon us. Travellers want
cheap tickets and airlines want to
fill otherwise empty seats. Legiti-
mate agents want to sell cheap
tickets — they have customers too.
Yet they are not allowed to do s n
even though last year the member
airlines of TATA lost more than
£J.0O0m. ... e „ . . ,
ABTA (the Association of British
Travel Agents} has declared thar
the Government should either
enforce the law or change it. I: is
indcud true that the last place to
find the cheapest international fares
available in Britain at present is a
travel agency. Such u situation Is
unfair to ABTA members and
unfair to travellers — in fact, it is
plain stupid and an example of the
bureaucratic mind. Surely it *.va:i!d
be to the advantage of cvervone
concerned— govern merrr. IATA.
ABTA.. agents, airlines and travel-
lers — if all cheap rickets v.'we
available to all retail outier..
Can nobody get rid of this red
tape? We have done our best.
Yours faithfully.

Missing Cypriots
From Lord Spcns
Sir. Professor Browning and his
co-signatories from B irk beck college
Hcitcr. March 16) perpetuate a
myth, which has been encouraged
by ihe Greek Cypriot authorities,
when they write about 2,000 missing
Cypriots. If they must write about
large numbers of missing Cypriots,
why have they, omitted the 800
Turkish Cypriots', missing, -ia the
earlier troubles sJnce 1963 ?
They say “ During the two '. . .
Turkish; military operations, in
Cyprus in summer 1974", but. they
omit the fact that there were five
days of vi 0 Sen r lighting between. the
supporters of Samson and those of
Makarios. between July 15 and July
20 , before the Turkish army -inter-
vened. That period was sufficient to
drive Makarins from bis post as
President, and very, many Greek
Cypriots, were killed audfaow many
ivcm missing ?
Since 1974 bmh the 'Internal kma I
Red Cross and the. Red Crescent
have iilvestigaied rh e claim that.
2,000- Greek- Cypriots -were missing.

Science report
Astronomy: Enigma of star persists
By rhe staff of i Xature
Radio- observations of the star
called SS432 hjie confirmed tltat
the object is indeed shooting nut
two streams of material in oppo-
site directions, hut have nut
advanced understanding of this
bizarre ohject. That is the chief
conclusion to he drawn from a
report by Dr B. M. Hjeliming and
Dr K. J. Johnston ol their obser-
vations of SS4JJ with the instru-
ment known as ibe- Very Large
Array, j coordinated system
22 movable radio- telescopes mns
operating in New Mexico.
Although SS4JJ has been
observed, off and on, for some
decades, ns peculiar properties
were recognized only in 197S. un
the basis of spectroscopic measure-
ments with the Anglo Australian
Telescope. These and later «ib»er-
vntiuns showed that the star is
ejecting two narrow pencils of
gas in exactly opposite direction*,
and moving at 26 per cent of the
velocity of light lor 78,000 km a
.second).
The most widely accepted ex-
planation nf this phenomenon,
unknown elsewhere in the galaxy,
is that the source of the two lets
of gas ts a compact neutron star
Ivins close to a normal star, nu—i
probably very' much like the sun.
Neutron stars, first recognized bj
the pulsating radio signals From
some of them, arc thought to be
one of the end points of stellar
evolution and to be formed in
supernova explosions.
On this view nf S54.U. the
neutron star's gravitational attrac-
tion is continually pulling material
from the surface i»f ils normal
companion, in the process sur-
rounding iwelf with a flat saucer-
shaped t xlumc of gas. presumed
to be rotating rapidly above the
neutron star. By some unknown
mechanism, this accretion disc
appears to accelerate come of ns
own Substance ro a speed of
78,000 km a second, pumpinc it
out in two narrow beams on cither
side.
This description has been pieced
together from optical and X-ray
nb.-ervation< of in the past
two years. The two pencil beams
arc not fixed in direction hut
Instead are wobbling, sweeping
over a conical surface once every
164 days. it is not known lvhv
the velocity of the opposing beams
is as constant as it appear® to be.
nor why the beams are as narrow
as observed.
Part or the objective of the
radio observation.-* now reported
has been to search for evidence
of magnetic forces that might
account for some of the peculiar
properties r,f the star. In the
event, while systematic patterns of
magnetic forces are inferred from
Ihc observations, they arc thought
to be roo small to have much
influence on the phenomenon.
The most striking feature of rhe
observations is rhar the intensity
of radio cmivsinn varies substan-
tially m as little as a week.
Because the telescope array can
pick out features much smaller
than a second of arc. it has also
been possible to fn|]mr the move-
ment of patches of luminiisity.
thought to correspond to the
movement of blobs of gas ejected
from the -.tar, for periods of 20(1
days or so.
The distance of SS433 from the
solar system js estimated, on the
basis of rhe radio observations, to
be S.tOu parsecs (16.600 light
years). The beams of gas extend
outwards Trom the central star fnr
600. nnu million kilometres before
petering out in the cloud of gas
representing ihc accumulation nf
previous ejections from SS433.
Bur the mechanism of this process
is as obscure as ever.

MR JAMES DOW
Mr James Dow, formerly
managing editor of The Sunday
Times, has died aged 71 in
Florence, his retirement home.
He was an outstanding example
of the' journalist who, though
he may never figure in the
annual awards- for excellence,
by his skill and influence makes
excellence in others possible.
Like many another journalis-
tic Scot, James Blyth Dow took
up his craft in Dundee and las
he was amused to admit) first
exercised it on those romances
for the lovelorn for which that
city was noted. He quickly
graduated to he wider world
of newspapers, in turn becoming
reporter, feature-writer, and
editor of a variety of Scottish
papers.
RAF service took him to
Italy (where he met his charm-
ing second wife, Alda, who sur-
vives him). He spent a short
time there after the war, as a
film writer in Rome, before
maktng his way to Fleet Street
via Glasgow and the Daily
Record. He wrote . and edited
for the Sunday Chronicle and
the Sunday Graphic, at a rime
when many newspapers still
flourished whether or not they
prospered.
His transition to that mys-
terious blend of editing and
administration implied in the
title “managing editor” began
in 1953, when he joined The
Sunday Times as it was about
to embark on its ■ celebrated
period of expansion, first under
H. V. Hodson as editor, then
— most signally — under C. D.
(Sir Denis) Hamilton, and
finally Harold Evans. From
production editor “Jimmy "
Dow became managing editor
in 1964 (in truth one of three
with the title, an inconvenience
he dealt with on the first day
by instructing his secretary
that the word "joint’' should
not appear on any of h:s
letters). From then until hii
retirement in 1972 Dow exer-
cised an increasingly beneficta}
influence on the conduct of tfii
paper, and particularly the lift
nf the paper within the office
He was a mainstay of the editor
His quiet assertiveness wit£
others (he was always the fina
to hear his own voice risiog
and so moderate it), his ability
to stimulate or to console, hu
availability to all who needec
him — these qualities made hni
(in rhe epithet so pleasineh
applied to him jn the Sundat
Times memoir. The Pearl 0
Days ) “ the general favourin
as the general friend ”.
Those who worked outsidi
the paper, as for example tin
late Patrick Campbell fLorr
Glenavy), found in him tb
essential link with the offic*
in spirit and practice. DoV
only signed contribution, aFte
his retirement, was an apons
ciation of another celebraiet
“outdoor worker”, the go If inr-
correspondent, Henry Long-
hurst.
Indeed, at times be wouio
reflect, with just a touch ol
rue, on " the days when I used
to be a journalist ”, and recall
assignments from his popular-
paper days. Their true mora'
was often that a writer conic
be effective and still retain thi
good opinion of those he wrote
about, even those notorious])
“ difficult ”, Evelyn Waugi
was one example, Noel Cowart
another tsiogjing him out fron
the crowd on some pubfii
occasion wirh the welcomioi
cry, “Jimmy, ray shadow ! "
After resuming his residenci
in _ Italy _ Dow cusromaril:
limited his journeys to Eoglaoi
so as to coincide (it was said
with Goodwood. He forbad*
himself the office, surely awan-
that those still there did no
need his presence to -measurt
their works by his standards.

From Frank Vogl
Washington, March 17
American Interest rates fell
further today as it became
clear rhat an increasingly bitter
confrontation is developing be-
tween some influential Reagan
Administration ■ officials who
want the Fed ro signal a new
and still tighter money supply
course.
The rate for federal funds,
t.ie key sborr-rerm rate most
directly influenced by the Fed’s
market operations, fell to 14}
per cent from around I4J per
cent yesterday. Citibank and
Morgan Guaranty joined other
big banks Id dropping its prime
rate to 171 per cent from 18
per cent. The declining rate
is providing support to the
stock markets.
The Fed’s actions m the
money markets, resulting in
lower rates, appear ta be stimu-
lated by a softening of the
economy and by 'the belief that
the contraction of rhe money
aggregates in recent months
was greater than was necessary
to secure the Fed’s annual
money supply growth targets.
Some. Fed economists expect
the economy to slow further
mid anticipate that tbe decline
in loan demand will ensure that
money growth remains on the
Fed’s desired course without it
having to drain further reserves
from the banking system.
The Fed also announced that
industrial output declined on a
seasonally adjusted basis by 0.5
per cent in February, after a
gain of 0.4 per cent in January.
This is the first monthly drop
in industrial output in seven
months. A sharp fall in produc-
tion of. durable goods for the
construction and home indus-
tries was. the mam cause of the
decline. There 'was also a slight
gain last month in personal
income. .
Some administration officials
are worried by what they see
as the “passive” approach of
the Fed, under which it is will-
ing to allow broad economic
trends to influence money
growth and interest - rate trends,
so that tbe money supply tends
to contract sharply when
economic activity slows and
tends to expand sharply on
stronger general economic
activity.
Such an attitude in tbe
opinion of the officials ' tends
to add. to market uncertainties,
fails to strengthen confidence
in long-term declines in infla-
tion and leads to the destabiliz-
ing course- of interest rates that
was seen last year.
In 1980 the prime rate soared
in the first - quarter to 20 per
cent, plunged in the second
quarter to 10$ per cent and then
rose in the second half of the
year to a record 21 per cent
The sources indicated that
the Administration has been
repeatedly advocating to the
.Fed that a new statement
should . be issued announcing
lower money supply growth
tmgets and a clear determina-
tion to secure a smooth path of
money supply expansion.
The. proponents of this view
seem to have convinced Presi-
dent Reagan that this will
strengthen, the economy and
lead swiftly . to lower interest
rates.
These officials argue that the
new Fed statements and policies
would very quickly provide a
aew sense of confidence in the
markets to achieve price
stability.
This confidence would tend
to stimulate savings and at the
same time it ' would tend to
reduce the inflation premium
that is now evident in long-term
yields. _
'Elimination of this interest
rate premium in interest rates
would stimulate investment and
so promote greater economic
growth.
The enhanced savings stimu-
lated by lower inflation expecta-
tions would finance increased
private sector investment.
For these reasons the offi-
cials believe firmly that tighter
money policies today will stimu-
.Jate the economy in a sound and
nan-inflationary manner.

Terms for the biggest realign-
ment in British banking for
more than a decade - were
announced yesterday.
Standard Chartered Bank and
the Royal Bank of Scotland have
reached agreement on rbeir
merger, and Lloyds Bank
' launched a takeover for Lloyds
and Scottish, the largest inde-
pendent ■ finance house ' in
Britain.
Standard Chartered is offer-
ing one of its shares plus 50p
in cash for every five Royal
Bank shares, and a further
£760,000 cash for the two
classes of preference scares.
With Standard’s shares clos-
ing 53p lower at 644p, the terms
value the Royal Bank at £3I2m
or almost 139p a share, about
50p more than the shares were
trading at on Monday before it
was announced that the two
sides were in talks. '
Both Lord Barber, chairman
of. Standard Chartered, and Sir
Michael Henries, Roval Bank’s
chairman, stressed that this was -
not a takeover but a merger,
and that the Royal Bank would
retain its separate identity.
Lord Barber said that his ex-
perience in politics had taught
him to be sensitive about Scot-
tish opinion, although the first
indications, from Scotland are
that the deal has upset
nationalist feelings.
After the merger, the com-
bined group will have balance
Sheet footings of £19, 000m and
shareholders’ funds approach-
ing £ 1,000m. This will put tbe
group on a par with Midland -
and Lloyds in tbe world league,
Although still well short of
Barclays and National .West-'
minster.
At* H
Kifi*'- i'j .
Lord Barber, right, extends a hand to Sir Michael Herries after the merger had been agreed
in London yesterday.
Both sides yesterday empha-
sized that tbe two banks were
complementary. Lord Barber
said that it would, have taken
Standard Chartered years to
build up a comprehensive
United Kingdom retail network
and' it would have been just as
difficult for the Royal Bank to
build up its overseas presence.
“The two would be a near
perfect fit,** he added. Neither
• side however seemed keen to
expand on their plans for tbe
expected push into retail bank-
ing in England.
The Bank of England has
raised no objections to tbe link-
up and ^ord Barber argued that
there was no case for tbe deal
to be referred to the Office of
Fair Trading.
Sir Michael. Herries said rhat
the move had not been
prompted by fears of a bid from
another quarter, despite much
speculation in Royal Bank
share over the last year.
Announcing the merger
terms. Standard Chartered said
that its pre-tax profits last year
had risen from £169.8m to
£232m and tbe dividend would
rise by a quarter to 32.5p net.
Lloyds Bank wins control of HP group
By Our Financial Staff
Lloyds Bank- moved swiftly
to secure full ownership of
Lloyds and Scottish, Britain’s
largest independent hire-
purchase group. It launched a
200p a share offer for the 60.7
per cent of the equity it does
nor already own, immediately
after Standard Chartered and
Royal Bank announced terms
of their agreed merger.
The move will cost Lloyds
£145m and puts a price tag of
around £240m on. tbe whole
group- .
Lloyds has long been
rumoured to be interested in
taking over Lloyds and Scottish
to give it the same all-round
exposure to the hire-purchase
and leasing markets that the
other clearing banks enjoy. The
catalyst has been tbe Standard/
Royal Bank link-up.
With a heavy involvement
already in the hire-purchase
market through Standard’s sub-
sidiary, Chartered Trust, it
comes as no surprise that the
two banks have declared tbat
“ they will enter negotiations
with Lloyds Bank in good faith
for the sale, on an arm’s length,
basis,, of Royal Bank** 39.3- per
cent shareholding”.
A rapid stockmarket opera-
tion before luneb yesterday
took the Lloyds holding up to
49.9 per cent. With Morgan
Grenfell, an associate of Lloyds,
purchasing another 0.3 per cent
of Lloyds and Scottish .equity,
Lloyds now has a controlling
interest. .
A further 1 per cent of.l! and
S’s equity is controlled by
trustees of Lloyds Bank pension
schemes.
There was no immediate res-
ponse from Standard/Royal
Bank as to whether the terms
were acceptable but it seems a
□ear certainty tbat tbe two will
agree in return for Lloyds itself
agreeing to the merger in res-
pect of its 162 per cent holding
in the Royad Bank of Scotland.
With aH. the big finance
houses now controlled by jibe
clearing banks, there was sane
stockmarket speculation that
the smaller groups would be
attractive to other bidders with
Wagon Finance, Provident Fin-
ance and FNFC all putting on a
few pence.

A last-minute hitch has
developed in drawing up a plan
for the future of TCI, Britain’s
remaining independent manu-
facturer of large computer
systems.
One theory is tbat a scheme-
supported by the Department
of Industry and involving some,
form of direct government aid,
has run into opposition at
Cabinet level.
The stock market appears to
be backing a theory that ICL’s!
negotiations for a largely pri-
vate sector solution to its liqui-
dity problems have been upset
at the eleventh hour by the
appearance of a potential
bidder.
ICL’s share price, which col-
lapsed after the group dis-
closed first-quarter losses of
more than £2 Ora in February,
has been actively supported
this week.
The price improved by a
further 3p to 45p yesterday on
speculation tbat a bidder was
about to emerge.
The names of three possible
contenders were mentioned —
Philips, the Dutch electrical .
giant ; Siemens, the West Ger-
man electronics group, and Nix-
dorf, a West German office
computer business. Herr Heinz
Nixdorf, the chairman, held a
stake in ICL at one time.

Auditor pays
to Pentos
By Catherine Gunn
Ao ex gratia payment of
£400,000 is being made to
Pentos. the publishing and en-
gineering group, by its auditor.
Neville Russell, tbe chartered
accountancy firm. The pay-
ment is in respect of a .review
of Caplan Profile carried out
by Neville Russell for Pentos
before it bought Caplan for £7m
of shares ro August, 1979.
' Discrepancies in the Caplan
accounts and profit forecast to
eud-Augusr, 1979, were dis-
covered by Pentos after, the
purchase. Pentos is suing
Malvern' & 'Co. C apian’s former
auditbr, ' and . Singer & Fried-
lander, the merdumt bank, con-
cerning the asset valuation and
profit forecast made prior to
the acquisition of Caplan.
The case is due before tbe
High Court in the second quar-
ter of 19S2. Pentos values' its
claim at £3. 5m. Last year the
Caplan family agreed to pay
Pentos £350,000 over two years.
A spokesman for tbe Insti-
tute of Chartered Accountants
of England and Wales yester-
day described -the £400,000 pay-
ment by Neville Russell as
“certainly one of the biggest
ex gratia payments” ever made
by an accountancy firm.
14 On the purely practical
level it’s far easier to settle for
some amount than . to go
through the, uncertainties .and
costs of litigation ”, be said.
Caplan made less than Elm
for the year to end-August
1979, against the £1.4m profit
forecast, and the net tangible
assets were £959,000 below
Pentos’ expectations.
Neville Russell has dis-
claimed all liability over tbe
Caplan episode. It is to con-
tinue as Pentos' auditor. A
spokesman for the accountancy
firm yesterday would make no
comment on the ex gratia pay-
ment.
Sir Ronald McIntosh
rejects Fisons post
By Rosemary Unsworth
Sir Ronald McIntosh who was
due to succeed Sir George
Burton as chairman of Fisons.
the troubled chemicals and
pharmaceutical .- group, has
decided not to - take up_ the
appointment. .
But' Sir Ronald -will remain,
as a director. Sir George will
continue as chairman in a non-
executive capacity, whi^e Mr
John Kerridge, chief executive,
will .take over' the .chairman’s
executive responsibilities.
The move" follows Fisons*
decision,- announced last week,
to shift its headquarters from
London to Ipswich as part of a
cost-cutting exercise.
Sir - Ronald,- .who is 61, said
yesterday that . he would have
been -unable to' devote enough
time to Fisons while living in
London. “ I would have been
too remote from the chief
executive and it would have
detracted from my other work,”
He was to have taken over in
May -on Sir George’s retirement
at 65. - -
Sir Ronald is also on tbej
boards of S. G. Warburg. Roseco
Minsep, APV Holdings and
London and Manchester Assur-
ance.
“John Kerridge has been
chief executive for nine
months and performed very
well^, Sir Ronald said. Mr
Kerridge, who is 46, lias been
with Fisons for 20 years and
.was in charge- of fertilizer
division.
.Two large works at Imming-
ham, Humberside, and Avon-
mon.th near Bristol are being
■ consolidated and. some other
sites are being closed, with the
eventual- loss of more than
1,100 jobs.
The decision to close the
Mayfair offices in London
involving 70 redundancies was
made; after the group revealed
a net loss last year of £16.8m
compared with a profit in 1979
of £12m. The dividend 'was' cut
by two-thirds.
Poor results were blamed on
the recession in the United
Kingdom, Europe andl North
America and qn high interest
rates. Tbe strength of sterling
was also reckoned -to have cut
£20m from exports.
Fisons suffered an additional
blow in January' when it was
forced to abandon Proxicromii,
a new* anti-asthma drag, after
development costs of about
-£12m:
Yesterday Fisons share price
gained lOp to 143p although
most of- the advance took place
before, the announcement.
IMI to raise
£27.5mby
rights issue
By Peter Wilson-Smith
IML the metals company, is
raising £27.5m after expenses
through a rights issue. The
news -accompanied better than
expected profits for 1980, show-
ing a fall of ' only -18 per cent
to £28.2m. The shares closed
l}p up yesterday at 61p.
Sir Michael - Clapham, the
chairman, who retires next
.month, said that since' the' last
rights issue in 1976 the group
had invested £l05m in expand
ing home and overseas.
Capital spending — £25m in
1980— was still running at a
high level with investment in
titanium, copper tube' and
aluminium operations. IMI
wanted to be able to continue
expanding. -
The dividend, increased from
6.29p gross to 6.43p in 1980,
will be maintained on the en-
larged capital “ unless the pre-
sent depression deepens even
further or unforeseen circum-
stances arise ”.
The terms of the rights issue,
underwritten by Hill Samuel,
are two new shares at 48p for
every seven . ordinary ■ shares
held. Cazenove and Company, is
the broker.
Group turnover in 1980 rose
from £6 12m to £6 29m, includ-
ing a 19 per cent rise in exports
to £135tn

Most industrialists, buffeted
and bruised by : the worst reces-
sion that' most can remember,
cun scarcely contemplate any-
thing worse. But members of
the Nuclear Protection Advisory
Group (NuPagl believe that
industry and business should
consider the possibility of a
unclear .Armageddon.
However, remote this may
appear, they have convinced
more than 100' executives from
leading companies that It would
be worth . while to -part .with
£125 to pick up some rips on
how industry might survive a
nuclear war.
Heavyweights from companies
like Unilever, ICI,' $heIi,- the :
Central Elec trig ty Generating
Board will, file into^a one day
'seminar In London "Todav 'orga-
nized by the NuPag with the
theme: “Nuclear Artaek; Pro-
tection. for indnsHy
Deprived by -the. BBC of the
opportunity of watching The'
War Game, the ‘film made 16
years ago depicting the effects

stout hearts of British industry’
will listen to experts from
Europe and America expound
their ideas on what British in-
dustry should .be doing now to .
make life more bearable after a
nuclear attack.
Mr David "Widdiconibe, QC,
chairman of NuPag, who headed
the Windscale inquiry says-
“Millions of survivors would
be depending on essential in-
dustries operating again as
effectively, as possible.
“ Tbat'is why it is .argent that
businessmen understand and are
able' tn implement-survival tech-
niques.”
Mr Ivan Tyrrell, one of the
organizers', of the seminar, e?>
plained: “The object is ia

ability of this country to attack
by- modern weapons, and' to help
. business planners assess what
: they can _do to protect their
workforces, and essential plant
in the light of the possibility
of nudear war.”
It Ts all highly commendable
and far-sighted," hut -the event
has failed to register more than
a Bickering spark' of interest .at.
Centre Point, the London head-
quarters of the Confederation
.of. British Industry.
The .CBI, and Sir Terence
Beckett, its director general, do
of -course ' have more pressing
short-term nroblems to face in
fighting industry's comer in the
continuing battle for economic
survival by many member
companies.
Sir Terence will be at the
regular monthly meeting of the
.orgaoization’s -council, and the
CBI has demurred front sending
any of its officials to the holo-
caust seminar.
One of Sir Terence's aides
said last night : u In the event
of a nuclear attack, we expect
emergency- committees to he
coordinating- die- efforts of
essential services and the activi-
ties of whatever industries
■survived,”
And many others may observe
somewhat cynically that "trying
to run a business in Britain in
the present- economic climate'
(particularly after last week’s
Budget) is a close ehppgh paral-
lel- to a holocaust,- and that

EXTRACTS FROM THE STATEMENT
BY THE CHAIRMAN, MR. A. M. HODGE
To be presented at the Annual
General Meeting on March 24th 1981.
New U.K. Premiums up 53%. Investment Linked Bonds Success*
12% Growth in Pensions. Increased Canadian Business.
UNITED KINGDOM AND
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
Assurance Business
Economic recession and continuing
high inflation made last year a difficult one. At
times such as these it is necessary to work
harder to achieve the same results as in more
'favourable conditions. It is therefore with'
some satisfaction that I am able to report that
the total premiums ( single and annual I on
• new business in the U.K. last year, at £-11.7 ni.,
were 53 fl s higher than in the year before. In
the Republic of belaud our new annual
premiums increased by y*'o to 1R i'lm.Twb
years ago we introduced a highly successful
Guaranteed Bond since when we have
received single premiums of 1R £20ni„
IRiWlsm. in the first year and IR i'6 1 2m. last
-year; - *-
For long our major class of business

polities taken put either for investment or for
house purchase. There has in the last few
years been a trend away from this for various
rensruisLLastyearm particular; activity in the
house purchase market was much lower than
normal. At the same time ihcre has been an
- ■ increasing tendency on the part of the public
to buy polities linked to unit trusts.Tosatisfy
■ Hi is need we issued a Capital Investment Bond
contract in October 1979. 'Ibis was highly
successful and was followed last year by the
. R^ular Investment Bond and a Personal
’ Pension .Bond. The performance of the
invested funds underlying these Bonds has
been remarkable. As an example, between its
Inception in October 1979.and 15th November
• 1980 our UK. equity fund’s unit price grew
- 5596 compared with a stock market rnove-
rhentofoiily26 , Hi..
Our aim is still, as it always has been, to
produce those forms of life insurance whidi
the public needs.
Pensions Business
“ itis nearly two years since the Sotial
Security Pensions Actl975ame into force
and tbeactivity which that produced has died
down. So many employers have recently
reviewed the pension provisions for their
staffe that new schemes in tfie market as a
whole can arise only from that small number
“of firms deriding to provide pensions for the •
fire! time. Our Stanplan series of polities is
-particularly appropriate in these cases
because they are based on a ready made
trust deed and rules with Standard life
Pension Funds Ltd. as trustees.
A better indication of the growth of our
Tnianess is given by the total premium income
received each year for all our insured
schemes. Last year the total of annual and
single payments was 12?o higher at 02 lm.
compared with 008m. the year before.

and £40m.in property. The proportions of the
total fund in these groups of investments at
market value were about -10° 0^3596 and 25°6
as at 15th November 1980.
We have continued Id provide finance
for the building of office blocks, shops and the
development of industrial estates.
CANADA
New Business
There has been a good increase in our
new ordinary assurance business in Canada
with new annual premiums up by 36^ U Our
success is due both to the introduction of new
products and to an expansion in our sales
lorce which grew from 165 in November 1979
lo 185 in November 1980. 1 am sure, too, that
the large increase of 66°6 in new annual and
single premiums on group pension business
can be attributed to the quality of our service,
to the competitive rates whidi we offer and to
our excellent investment recond.
VALUATION AND BONUS
The valuation basis, as set out in the
Actuarial Report, is unchanged from last year
and remains exceptionally strong. Tbe surplus
earnings of the company have benefited from
a further increase in the yield on investments
while during the year ihe market values of our
investments, and in particular ordinary shares,
have improved substantially.
Our bonus declaration reflects these
favourable investment conditions. Wc have
felt able to in crease our rates of reversianaiy
and terminal bonus in the United Kingdom
and Republic of Ireland and have also
declared, for the first time, a terminal bonus in
respect of UK. individual pension poGtiesJn
Canada we have made significant increases in
rates of reversionary bonus and have also
increased the rate of bonus paid under with-
profits group pension schemes. Bonuses.
underAe latter contracts are paid in cash and
declared on a biennial basis.
The declared ratesof bonus are high by
any standard and reflect the exceptional
retumsin monetary terms that accrue during
inflationary conditions. It is therefore
necessary to stress thatcurrent rates of bonus
could notnecessarily be maintained should
mvestoientjnelds subside m future lo more
normal levels.

Britain's vegetable and fruit canning
industry, ' already down to about 15
factories compared to twice the number
10 years ago, is squaring up to the prospect
of short-time working, jobs at risk and
possibly closure of some companies.-
At the Anglian canning arm of Asso-
ciated British Foods, Mr Russell Taylor,
the commercial director, believes his com-
pany may be the only canning enterprise
which is not losing money. **Not that we
are making much profit”, he added.
Smedley HP, the market leader with
about 20 per cent and part of Imperial
Foods, was also in trouble, faced with
closing its Wisbech, Cambridgeshire,
factory with the loss of 430 jobs. Smedley,
which has closed three, factories already
in three years, has consistently made sub-
stantial losses in canning in recent years,
according to the company.
The fate of Wisbech hangs on discussions
just started with Tozer Kemsley & Mill-
bourn whose canning operations, at
Gorlestori, Norfolk, and Maldon, Essex, are
the largest f or supply of own-label canned
fruit aod vegetables.
A new company jointly owned by TKM
and Imperial Foods (part of the Imperial
Group) is being planned with a £50m-a-
year turnover, to be managed by TKM.
it is hoped -to have an agreement by tbe
end of this month which would mean
Wisbech continuing to manufacture
although subsequent- rationalization plans
■will result in-the loss fo some jobs through-
out the new group.
TKM has also fbeen 1 making losses in
canning which it had hoped to halt by
i/i stalling the larest machinery at Maldon.
But TKM still faced canning losses last
year. \ ...
About half the industry is working
short-time, and some running at half capa-
city in the part of the year when non-
seasonal lines like baked beans and
spaghetti keep the factories ticking over
before rhubarb, the first seasonal crop,'
comes in about the beginning of ' May.
But tbe peak of the cropping season,
many canners wili not be bringing in the.
usual flood of temporary workers to keep
the canneries going continuously, drivers
Hartley, part of Cadbury Schweppes
will be using only regular staff at its
Montrose, Angus, factory. Canners can-
not afford to carry too much excess stock-
because of the cost of tbe capital tied up.
It reflects the continued decline in the
rss
market which is estimated since 1973 to
have declined 26 per cent in vegetables
and in fruit to have halved as-botn frozen
and fresh foods, have taken bigger slices
of the market.
Already this month Lockwoods Foods,
the Lincolnshire-based canners, .has gone
into receivership. Despite the closure of
its . Boston; Lincolnshire, factory— leaving
four still operating — it is still tbe country's
. third largest canning operation with about
- 15 per cent of the market! -
The industry has been Earing sales
decline of up to 3 per cent a year for some
time but this year canned fruit has been
especially hit because customers appear
to class it as a . luxury on which to
economize. But the factor that points to
the end of more factories and possibly
some of the smaller companies is the
industry’s estimated, overcapacity of up to
30 per cent.
' Even if the- receivers do not keep
Lockwoods production going, there wuuld

Oil companies plan
fewer ships’ officers
By Our Industrial Staff
Oil companies have begun to
cut back the number of officers
ia their tanker fleets. British
Petroleum Shipping, which
operates a fleet of 5S ships, con-
firmed yesterday that it was
planning to cut more than. 35Q
officers’ jobs over the next six
months, and industry sources
suggest that Shell Tankers UK
is planning to axe 100 jobs.
EP — which yesterday said that
it was adding British Inventor,
a 10-year-old Japanese-built
2 15,000-tons-dead weight tanker,
to two products tankers already
up for sale — confirmed that al-
most one-eighth of the com-
pany’s 2,825 officers will face
redundancy.
- The company has already
begun discussions with leaders
of the Merchant Navy and Air-
line Officers’ Association over
its plans to cut 367 officers’
jobs. Officers will be offered
enhanced redundancy terms for
voluntary severance and early
retirement over the next six
months before compulsory lay-
offs are considered.
The bulk of the planned cut-
backs will affect engineering
officers, where 250 jobs are due
to go, with tbe balance made
up of deck, radio and catering
officers.
EP’s decision reflects the
continuing recession and
changes in the company’s trad-
ing patterns.
The derision by the company
to invite tenders for British
Inventor, which , has been laid
up with other tankers in Brunei
Eay si ace 1978, reflects con-
tinued overcapacity in the
tanker market.
Shell, which owns or operates
a fleet oE 57 ships under the
British flag with a total crew
complement of 3,800, would not
be drawn on its plans for crew
reductions.
A spokesman for the com-
pany said: “ Certainly" there is
nothing doing at the moment.
Like every other tanker opera-
tor we are short of neither men
nor ships, but we have not
thought about redundancies -in
any concrete way.”
RCA plant closure
RCA International, pare of
the American-based RCA Cor-
poration. is to close one of its
two United Kingdom manu-
facturing operations, a records
and cassette tapes plant in
Washington New Town in the
North-east, There, will be a loss
of 270 jobs.
RCA’s factory on Jersey, in
the Channel Islands, producing
studio and other professional
video tape cameras, is not
affected.
Dock jobs go
About 800 dockers on
Merseyside have asked for
application forms under a new
■‘golden handshake” scheme
through which the Mersey
Docks and Harbour Company
plans to shed 1,000 jobs this
year. The special payment of
£16,000 is available to men in-
the pons of Liverpool and
London who \*olunteer for the
scheme by April 30.
The Titan chassis-lcss double-deck bus.
Leyland resumes production
of Titan double-deck bus
By Clifford Webb
Midland Industrial .
Corrresppndent
Leyland. Vehicles, has .re-
sumed production of its ad-
vanced Titan double-deck bus
after an interval of 10 months,
during which its absence cost
£19m in lost sales.
A combination of falling bus
traffic and smaller government
subsidy on bus purchases has
already cut demand from 2,300
double-deckers last year -to an
estimated 1,800 this year, and
a 50 per cenr drop in 1982 sales
is forecast.
Sir Michael dosed the Park
Royal _ factory in west London
when workers refused to im-
prove their “appalling pro-
ductivity » record, and planned
to switch Titan to the Eastern
Coach. Works plant at Lowes-
toft: -
The move .had to be aborted
when Lowestoft's skilled body
builders refused to accept an
influx of the semi-skilled labour
needed to produce the chassi-
less bus.
Finally it has settled in a new
home at Leyland' National,
Working tob, Cumbria, where
the similar uni-construction
National single-decker is built.
The first Workington Titans
will be leaving the factory later
this month. . But they will find
different market conditions
from those they left in May
1980. .
An official of ooo of the
largest passenger transport ex-
ecutives said yesterday: "The
general feeling is that Leyland
has ‘ missed the bus ’ with
Titan”. .

Results
Comparisons are distorted by the fact that UK
profits in the corresponding period of last year
were favourably influenced by the deferral of
advertising expenditure caused by the
independant television strike and by higher than,
normal sales of imperial packs of tea prior to
metrication.
Adjusting for these factors, grocery trading
produced higher profits partially offset by
somewhat lower returns from meat interests.
Overseas distribution companies recorded good
results with strong profit improvements in.
Prance and South Africa. Further benefits
accrued from loss elimination in the Argentine,
but plantation profits were adversely affected
by falling crop prices and higher costs.
The integration ofMaUinson-Denny into the
group is proceeding as planned following the
completion of the acquisition on the 26th.
January 1981.
The board confirms the indication given at the time of the offer that, in the absence of -
unforeseen circumstances, it expects to recommend net dividends in respect of the current
financial year to 30th June 1981 of not less than 3.905p per share (the rate payable in respect of
the year ended 30th June 1980).
Interim Dividend
The Directors have declared an interim dividend ofl.25pper share (the same rate as last year). This
dividend will be paid on 1st July 1981 to shareholders on the register on 29th May 1981 in respect of the
306.405,057 ordinary shares in issue (last year 25'£L23 ; 05D.
The amount of the interim dividend will be £3,830,813 Gasfcyear £3^31,714).

Wrestling with the politics of uranium
Later this year the Government
may pick international partners
try collaborate on tbe building
or a prototype fast breeder
reacrorof commercial size in the
United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom Atomic
Energy Authority hopes that it
will. It has told tbe Govern-
ment that -ft thinks that; a Fast
reactor needs to be built and it
is naturally keen to move on
from the experience gained on
the two small-scale plants it has
operated at Douneray in Scot-
land to the logical next stage of
development.
,A choice of international
partners, which would help to
defray fhecost of die new
reactor (likely to be at least
half as much again as that of a
conventional nuclear station)
would set in motion tbe process
leading up to the ordering of
a demonstration commercial
project within the next few
years.
Opposition, is likely to be
strong;, however. The great
advantage of the fast reactor is
that its use of uranium is some
60 times more efficient than
that of the conventional thermal
reactors which form die
Government’s intended nuclear
programme at present, -bur ft is
tecvnologically more advanced
and relies on- .plutonium, an
element used. in the production,
of nuclear weapons.
Before a decision is taken to
buDd a fast reactor, the Govern-
ment has promised a public In-

time; too late a start could
leave Britain dependent on
imports of another highly
expensive fueL
At first glance Britain’s sup-
plies of uranium look preca-
rious. The 121 P9r cent of
Britain’s electricity generated
by nuclear power involves the
use of 1,500 metric tonnes a
year of uranium ore. All the
United Kingdom’s requirements
are met by imports from only
two suppliers a contract for
about 10,000 short tons (a short
ton is a Krr-le less than a metric
ton) from Rio Algom in Canada
ending in 1982 (to be replaced
by a contract for a broadly
similar amount over 10 years to
1992) and. a contract of an un-
disclosed amount from the
Bossing mine in Namibia.
Dependency on -only two
sources* particularly when one
— -Rossing- — is in a. potential
unstable country whose future
is in doubt, might appear to be
extremely worrying. In fact
there is: enough ur anium in
Britain for there to be no im-
mediate worry if either contract
were to be cancelled. Both were
agreed, when Britain’s nuclear
power programme was expected
to grow far faster -than it has.

there vrili soon be another three
nuclear stations on stream.
The Civil Uranium Procure-
ment Directorate,- which was
set up in- 1979 to coordinate the
buying policies of British
Nuclear Fuels, ^ the South of
Scotland Electricity Board and
the Central -Electricity Generat-
ing Board, is aware of tbe pro-
blem.
Tbe uranium market is highly
political. Only six countries are
producing the material— Aust-
ralia, South Africa (including
Namibia), Canada, the 'United
States, Gabon and Niger.
In 1977 Canada -placed a

and sometimes producers have

Britain was able, because of
its stockpile; to help out a
German utility which had run
short of supplies, but. with a
programme now -which involves
building roughly one new
nuclear power station a year
for 10 years, the procurement
directorate is keen to diversify
its sources. - -
" - ft appears- -to bare plenty of
time to do so. During 1980
worldwide cancellations of
nuclear orders were higher
chan the number of new orders
placed and the spot price of
uranium fell sharply. Indeed,

Certainly, the -United King-
dom . authorities have been
fairly relaxed in their procur-
■ment policies. Negotiations were
undertaken for supplies from
the new Ranger mine in Aus-
tralia, but it was decided that
the terms were not sufficiently
advantageous. The Resting con-
tract runs out, without an auto-
matic renewal, in 1984 and for
political as well as strategic
reasons an attempt is bound to
be made to spread supply risks
elsewhere. Ideally, by the 1990s

Australia and in several African
states, although none of them
have yet produced uranium
finds in commercial quantities.
Uncertainties over the future
will always remain. Uranium
mines have an average life of
10 to- 15 years, whereas a
nuclear power station should
last for at least 30 years. Addi-
tional supplies in the United
Kingdom are, however, avail-
able from the reprocessing of
spent uranium, which will in-
crease sharply when the
expansion of British Nuclear
Fuels* plant at Wihdscale is
completed.
.Britain has no need to be
“panicked” into going for fast
reactors. Its need for thenr
depends on how the inter-
national market in uranium is
likely to develop and whether
alternative technologies, such as
wind, wave and tidal power, can
provide energy supplementary
to -that provided by conventional
fossil-fuelled and nuclear plants
at competitive cost.
But a country without its own
uranium supplies must become
increasingly vulnerable to
supply interruptions as the!
world becomes more reliant on
nuclear power. The fast, reactor
provides an insurance- policy.
The problem is deriding when
to take it out.

Hard times in America’s ‘motor city
The citizens of Detroit are feeling the effects
of cutbacks in the car industry
Detroit
Like .the American car industry,
which lost $4,000m (about
£ 1,800m) last year, the citizens
of DetroiT— America's * motor
city ” — have had to change their
life-styles. The car market has
been' depressed for about a year
and the industry has been
forced to lay off hundreds of
thousands of -workers nationally
and tens of thousands locally.
M I see : people coming into
the .welfare office who have
never been in one before
because they have always been
able to make it on their own
somehow”, says Mr Clifford
Schnell, a state welfare depart-
ment official.
“Most of the people believe
that they will be able^ to get
another SlO-an-bour job kt a car
plant some day. They don’t
realize that times have
changed.”
The most recent unemploy-
ment figures for January, 1981,
showed 290,000 unemployed in
the Detroit area compared with
238.000 in December and
230.000 in January, 1980, Of
these about 50,000 were car
workers still eligible to receive
unemployment insurance
benefit.
The local unemployment rate
in the Detroit area was 14.4 per
cent in January compared with
113 per cent one year earlier.
During the peak period for lay-
offs last springy it was much
higher, with estimates- for total
unemployed in the city put at
more than 20 per cent.
Typically, a car worker with
a wife and two children might
take home 51,200 (about £520)
a month while working; First
laid off with unemployment -in-
surance and supplemental un-
employment benefit he would
take home 95 per cent of that
amount.
After those benefits expire,
typically in- about 26 weeks, his
benefits under a state pro-
gramme • of assistance for
dependent children of the un-
employed would total about
5600 a month to cover the cost
of shelter, food and 'clothing
for. his family.
The unemployed man would
also receive S100 a month in
food stamps, which he can
exchange for food at markets,
and his family medical and
dental hills also would be paid.
The tingle worker on general
assistance "would -receive about
5250 a month after bis unem-
ployment insurance and supple-
mental unemployment benefits
expire.-

says.
“ We are builddng for the
future with she emphasis on
- diversification of our economy,
and an increased attention to
our port”, he says. “Renais-
sance is, above all, a matter of
the spirit and culturally Det-
roit is alive and .well.”
Suit in spite of the announced
plans to diversify the local
economy a scheme to create a
free trade zone in .the port and
other attempts to lure business
other than the car industary to
the area, there is an under-
standing that this is still the
“motor city.”
Indeed, General Motors plans
to close its Cadillac plant but
replace it with a newer facility,
if it can get the necessary tax
incentives and survive a legal
challenge from the residents
who would be displaced by the
new plant. If it fails, the city
will Jose another 6,000 jobs.
And the shrinkage goes on.
Chrysler closed one plant in
the area last year and is to shur
another one this year, eliminat-
ing another 2,600 jobs. Both
General Motors and Ford have
plans to trim ’ their salaried
staffs by as much as _15_ per
cent, which -will eliminate
thousands of further jobs in
the Detroit area.
.There may be differences

but there will be. no dramatic

Sentiment -was also helped by
the -latest round of takeover
sews among banks with both
Standard Chartered and Royal
Ilpnk of Scotland returning
from suspension after their
merger proposals. Standard
opened 47p lower at '650p,
before diving to 620p and then
recovering to close at 644p, a
net Fall on the day of 53p. Royal
Bank of Scotland was in better
form and rallied 40p to 1 36p.
The bid from Lloyds Bank, up
7p at 3l5p, for Lloyds &
Scottish, 40 per cent owned by
Royal Bank of Scotland, pro-
vided fresh stimulus as rhe
shares rebounded 19p to 198p.
Elsewhere, the general short-
age of stock and subsequent
bear squeeze kept jobbers on
their toes adding an exagge-
rated slant to most price move-
ments.
.In the event, the FT Index,
n-bich was 2.9 higher at 10 am,
eventually closed up 7.8 at

countered profit taking after
their recent strong performance.

drawn.
In longs, prices opened steady
but drifted throughout the day
wirh most prices closing
below their best levels, while
in shorts earlier rises of £1/16
soon gave -way to see the list
close basically unchanged on
the day.
Leading industrials made
moderate progress in the thin
conditions with Beechams 4p -
steadier at 160p, Glaxo 4p at
278p, Unilever 7p at 490ft and
Fisoas lOp at 143p. But most
eyes were firmly ' focused on

awaiting their turn at a meeting

stitute to tax the hoard of ICI

ever, they -are likely to be con-
fronted with yet more gloom.
The shores yesterday added 4p
to 2 36p.
The takeover fever seen in
banks and financials worked
through to the rest of the sec-
tor. Bank of Scotland jumped
lOp to 302p but Grtndlays, for
a Jong time favoured as a take- .
over candidate, relapsed 7p to
176 p. In financials. Provident
Financials climbed l2p to 146p .
followed by Wagon Finance 4p
to 53p. But FNC reverted to
unchanged at 311 after an
earlier rise of lip at 33p.
This flurry of activity again
pushed the main clearing hanks
into the background with small
gains due mainly to the thin
conditions- Barclays added 7p
to 388 p, National Westminster
a similar figure at 3$8p, while
Midland slid 7p to 308p, ahead
of figure on Friday.
Electricals remained popular
with shares of I CL advancing
another 3p to 45p amid talk of
a financial rescue operation by
the Government. AB Electronic
rose 2p to Z06p, after 92p, fol-
lowing figures and an en-

figures. Awaiting figures on
Friday Standard Telephone &

time. speculative -support left
Bernard Matthews I5p higher at
3S3p, making a .35p rise so far
this account.
Shortage of stock and the
overnight strength of Wall St
kept oil shares on the move
yesterday with prices continuing
to gather pace regardless of the

The West Midlands steel
group. Ductile Steels, yesterday
disclosed that despite -large-
scale redundancies and short-
time working it had plunged
into losses. The interim dividend
has been passed.
Interim results to December
show a pretax loss of £1.48m
compared with profits last time
oF £2.37m. Sales fell by 40 per
cent to £23.l2m against
£3737m. The interim dividend
last year was 3.02p gross. The
shares tumbled 2p to 43p, jusr
lp above the low for the year.
Air Ronald Sidaway, chair-
man, said this was the first
tkne a toss had been recorded
since Ductile was founded in
1936.
All divisions were severely
hit by rhe acute shortage of
orders and increased costs, but
the worst affected were tboss
in the steel and engineering
divisions.
The group had felt the effect
of extra costs coupled with the
high pound and high, interest
rates which encouraged imports,
and at home, price cutting by
the British Steel Corporation,
be said. Ductile's main cus-
tomers are -the motor industries.
The first signs of the slump
in demand started last May,
and by November last year,
demand bad collapsed to about
40 per sent of the previous
year. Short time working con-
tinues at most of the group’s
plants and over the year some
300 employees have been made
redundant. This leaves a work-
force of 1,900.
Commenting on passing she
dividend, Mr Sidaway said : “As
yet there are few signs of a
general recovery in trade.
Under these conditions we must
suspend payment of a dividend
until we know the results for
the full year and are better
able to assess our future pros-
pects.”
-Last year to June pretax
profits were £4m on sales of
£72. 79m.

1. The recommendations of die Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies
regarding accounting for foreign currency translations have been adapted for 1980.
Profits and losses of overseas companies for 1980 have been translated into sterling
at the average rates applicable to their accounting periods.
Exchange differences arising from the re-translation of the opening net investment m
-these companies and their retained earnings for the year into sterling at the rates of
exchange at 30 September 1980 have been taken directly to reserves.
2. The Group's shareofthep refits, less losses, of major associated companies amounting
to £0.6 million (1979: £2.1 million) has been included in profit before taxation.
3. Provision has been made for the payment of a bonus of OB million [1979: £12 million)
to employees participating in the IMI protit sharing scheme.

The UK CorporationTax credit has been calculated on the basis of a rate of 52%. The
proposals of the Consultative Document on Stock Appreciation Relief issued by the
Board of Inland Revenue in November 1980 have been adopted The provision for
deferred tax on Stock Appreciation Relief has been wholly released and Advance
Corporation Tax which is not presently recoverable has been written off, including £4.0
million in respect of dividends for 1980.
The effect of Stock Appreciation Relief combined with accelerated capital allowances
and other timing differences has been to reduce the tax charge by £6.6 million
1 1979: £6.3 million).
5. This year the effects of Inflation have been calculated in line with Statement of
Standard Accounting Practice No. 16. This indicates that current cost profits before
taxation a mourned to £7.7m.
Dividends
The Directors recommend a final dividend of2.5p per Ordinary Share, payable on
8 May 1981 to shareholders on the Register at the close of business on 9 April 1981,
which will absorb £5,215,000 (1979: £5,210,000). Together with the interim
dividend of 2.0p per share paid on 20 October 198Q,this makes a total of 4.5p per
share (1979: 4.4p per share).
Brief Review of Activities
Compared with 1979, sales volume fell by rather more than 5 per cent but sales
value increased by 3 per cent to £629 million. Most of this increase was in exports
from the UK which amounted to £135 million, 19 per cent higher than in 1979.
Sales by our overseas manufacturing units increased by 7 per cent in terms of
sterling and home sales fell by 3 per cent. Profits before tax were 18 per cent
lower at £28.2 million, after charging approximately £5 million for redundancy and
reorganisation costs.
Increased UK profits were derived from titanium, refinery operations, alloy tube
and from a number of smaller activities including the IMI Mint, Broderick roofing
and cladding and IMI Marston's aircraft products. Overseas, special purpose
valves did well in France and our Australian operations also achieved higher
profits. The fluid power operations overall held up reasonably well. After a good
first quarter many other activities were affected by the UK recession, in particular
heat exchange, building products and copper semis. Eley ammunition and the
LF/Opti Zip Fastener Group continued to experience particularly difficult trading
conditions.
Rights Issue
The Directors of IMI have also announced that arrangements are in hand to raise
approximately £27.5 million (net of expenses) by means of a rights issue of
59,598,520 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 48p per share. Documents are being
posted to shareholders on 20 March 1981.

Boosey &
Hawkes buys
BCI for £4m
By PhiJip Robinson
Boosey & Hawkes, the music
publisher and instrument
maker, has beaten an unnamed
group of American investors to
buy New York-based Buffet
Crampon International (BCI)
for around £4m cash.
BCI, whose shares are quoted
on the New York over-the-
counter market, makes and dis-
tributes high quality woodwind
and string instruments and is
67 per cent owned by three
banks and an American institu-
tion, which have agreed . In
principal to sell Boosey &
Hawkes their shares.
But Boosey has yet to go
through the BCI books and will
not announce how it will
finance the deal until it sends
shareholders a letter in early
May, after its ■ preliminary
figures, report and accounts.
It is offering S735m (about
£3.3m) for the 67 per cent stake
and $7 of loan stock and $0.96
a share for the remaining 33
per cent of shares which aro
more widely held. The unnamed
group was offering 57.34m for
rhe major stake and loan stock
and a $1 a share for the rest.
Mr Michael Boxford, chief
executive of Boosey, said: “ I
appreciate it is a long time be-
fore we will be in a position to
send a letter to shareholders.
But I don't think there is going
to be a fight over this.”
Net asset value of BCI is put
at about £3.6m. For the six
mouths ending last June the
group made a pretax profit of
£100,000 on a turnover of £5ra.
Although based in America,
BCl's three factories are in
Europe, one in France and two
in Germany, and employ 600
people. BCI would give B&H
a world wide distribution net-
work.
SGB Group annual meeting :
Shareholders of the inter-
national plant and services
group were told yesterday
by the chairman, Mr Neville
Cliff ord-Jones, that there
was nothing but the reces-
sion to blame for the present
poor trading conditions.
Mr Clifford-Jones, pic-
tured at the meeting, said
that the group had experi-
enced a poor first half due
particularly to the long
Christmas holiday period
-which had put customers off
hire and placing orders.
Virtually no profit had been
recorded for December, he
said, and January had been
nearly as bad.

■ Fairdough -Construction
Group, the civil engineering,
building, tunnelling, opencast
coal mining steelwork and
materials handling group, had
a better reception to its
figures for 1980 than it did for
1979. A year ago the shares
slipped lp to 66p on news thar
1979 pretax profits only rose
from £9. 56m to £10.17m.
Yesterday they climbed 13p
to 97p on word that profits had
inched ahead to £10.Z7m while
turnover advanced from
£237. 5m to £264.05m. These
profits would have been a lot
higher but for a pllinge in those
of associates which fell from
£2.77m to £990,000.
The main associated company
is Fairdough- A1 Mi daiu, the 49
per cent owned concern operat-
ing in Saudi Arabia. There are
also operations in 'Kenya. As a
result, earnings a share are up
modestly from 16.03p to 18.79p
but they swell to 42.3-*p, if, 31k
the group, one adds back a heft
£10-34m in deferred tax. Igin
ing this, current cost earning
a share emerge at 10.7p whil
the inflation-adjusted preia
profit comes down to £6.“n
However, the dividend ris«
from 5.72p gross to 6.4p.
Mr Oswald Davies, chairma!
said that assets per share ar
now more than llUp. Cas
balances are strong and war
in hand is “ satisfactory
The cash apparently amount
to around £12.5m which cod
pares with a market capital is
Lion of not much more thi
£4Cm. Orders on hand ar
around £300m which is rca-s-sm
ing because the group dr pend
heavily upon United Kingdoc
earnings. Within these, publii
sector work is important.
Dealers were relieved at thi
latest news, but at ?3p, a 2950
SI peak, the yield is less than
7 per cent.
Stag Furniture profit
halved in tough trading
Although trading remained
difficult,' there had been a
slight improvement in Januarj
when many retail stores, re.
ported successful sales. This
strengthened the group's o-da
book, but no further improve
meet is expected overall until
rhe autumn, he said.
Last year the group closer
the Stag Cabinet branch fac
tory- at Kingston-upon-Tfcame:
but it has continued to be usee
for self -assembly furniture
manufacture and dining rooir
chairs. These activities vtil
now be concentrated at Not
riogham where the group hi
recently acquired more land foi
development.
The sale of the Kingston fac
tory will be completed in JuJj
with a cash payment of £3ra
and after meeting all factors
closure costs, is expected tc
yield a net surplus of £400,000

Competitive trading condi-
tions are blamed Eor a 56 per
ceot fail in Stag Furniture
Holdings* pretax profits to
£1.46m in me year to Decem-
ber.
Profits fell from £3.35m last
time and' sales declined by 5
per cent to £27-9m. The final
dividend is 4.64p, gross, mak-
ing a total payment for the
year of 7.14p gross which is
equal to last year’s payment
after adjusting for a scrip
issue. The shares fell 4p to
83p on the news.
The disappointing results,
Mr Patrick Radford, chairman,
said yesterday, were due to the
extremely competitive trading
conditions arising from the re-
cession. This had particularly
affected trading at the lower-
priced end of the market.

West country tanner Pittard
Group made a £521,000 pretax
loss in 1980, but has maintained
its dividend because of a
£587,000 tax credit and an extra-
ordinary credit of £414,000 The
total dividend is 5.71p gross.
The shares held their groirod at
47p yesterday. Group profirs in

Results from Waring &
Gillow, the furniture and car-
pet retailers, for the six months
to September reflect both diffi-
cult trading conditions and
major changes within the com-
pany since its acquisition last
year of Maples.
Trading profits of £586,000
were reported compared with
£2. 12m last time. But the addi-
Don _ of £3.Q6m of exceptional
credit from the sale of property
boosted pretax profits to
£2.84m after an extraordinary
item of £578,000 covering the
losses from, the clothing divi-
sion and factory closures.
On the profits of £2.84m a
sale aids Waring & Gillow
reserve for taxation of about
£928,000, against £Llm last
year, has been made. Some
£229,000 was transferred to the
deferred profit reserve to
cover outstanding hire purchase
debts before striking the pre-
tax figure. Sales rose to
£41 .22m. against £29. 7m, The
interim dividend has ' been
maintained at 2.14p gross.
Mr Manny Cussins, chairman.
said yesterday Thar trading pro-
fits at Waring’s furniture divi-
sion were affected by increased
profits were more than halved
costs and static sales. Trading
at £309,000 compared with
£2 _ 2 m last rime. Results from
Maples, acquired last May. have
seas stores made losses of
£190,000.
Losses in Warin^s clothing
division total £59,000. By the
summer the group will have
closed the last of its six factor-
ies, which at a peak three years
ago employed 2,000 people.
Mr Cussins added that the
second half of the year is trad-
itionally better for the fur-
niture industry and recent
trading has shown some im-
provement. January and Feb-
ruary were relatively buoyant
and Maples is expected to con-
tribute significantly to profits
in -the full year.

ted to E 10.3m over the period.

with lower consumer spending.
Meanwhile, hide and skin prices
> fell sharply, causing stock losses
of Elm by the December 31
year-end.
Mr Wood said yesterday that
there were faint signs of re-
stocking by manufacturers,
mainly in glove leather where
margins are highest. About 30
per cent of the group’s leather
went into gloves last year, with
50 per cent sold to shoe mann-
ing and upholstery manufac-
turers, who took a lower pro-
portion in 1980 than normally.
Mr Wood aims to split group
sales evenly between these
three ' markets eventually.
Leather prices were also show-
ing signs of improvement, he
said.
Sales at £18.3m last year fell
nearly 23 per cent both in vol-
ume and value. Trading profits
fell from £232m to £402,000,
while interest costs rose 12.3
par cent to £626,000. Mr Wood
expected interest charges to fall
by £300.000 in 1981, reflecting
lower MLR and reduced bor-
rowings. Borrowings stand at
£3m now, against £23 m at the
end of 1979. The proceeds of
the sale of the Beckenham site
will reduce borrowings.
bid for BSF
Auchmleck Investment, a
private Scottish textile group,
has made a £13m offer for
Bond Street Fabrics (BSF)
which received an unwelcome
£750,000 bid from its main
shareholder, Grovebell, earlier
this month.
The new bid, which is agreed
by the BSF board, offers 40p a
share and 67p for the conver-
tible loan stock in Bond Street
which dosed down its Leicester
manufacturing operation at the
beginning of the year and is
now left with two Scottish fac-
tories making knitwear. Grove-
bell offered 27p a share.
GrovebeQ has been a Bond
Street shareholder for two
years and currently holds 29
per cent of the equity. Mr !
Vasant Advani, its chairman,
said yesterday that the board
would make a decision on its
□ext step when it had seen the
information presented to
Auchialeck on Bond Street’s
trading position.
" Under Rule 12 of the Take-
over Code we are entitled to
see figures that have not been
available to us until now so
we can decide to accept the
offer, increase our own or do
nothing”, he said.

The Hon. P.E. Brassey’s
Statement to Stockholders
The following is the Chairman’s Statement submitted at
the Annual General Meeting on 17th March, 1981 ,
Mr. Arthur W, White
At the Board Meeting on 20th January, 198 1,
Mr. A. W. White announced that due to his age he
had decided to relinquish the Chairmanship of the
Company. Mr. White joined the Board in 1962 and
had been Chairman since 1966. It was under his
Chairmanship that the Company extended its area
very substantially. He consolidated the area into one
unit and great credit is-due to him for the part he
played in bringing this about with the minimum of
disturbance to those concerned. As Jbis successor in
the chair I record my thanks and those of his fellow
directors for his outstanding service not only to this
Company but to the water industry in general. As a
mark of esteem Mn White has been elected
President of the Company.
V- v-
Capital
An issue of £7,000,000 8J4% Redee mab le
Preference Stock 1985 was made on 10th December;
1980, to provide funds towards the financi n g of
capital expenditure and to redeem £3,500,000 9%
Redeemable Preference Stock 1981 on 2nd January,
1981-. 'The issue was made by tender and its success
is reflected in the average price of £105 .01 per £100
of stock received.
The Company’s existing capital powers provide
for the issue of just over £1,500,000 of additional
capital or loan stock, a figure which, is inadequate to
meet thf? requirements of the Company for
forthcoming redemptions of capital and other capital
expenditure. Your Directors intend to apply for a
new Capital Powers Order to increase the combined
authorised capital and loan stock from its present
level of £60,000,000 to £100,000,000. Notice of an
Extraor dinar y General Meeting to consi d er the
proposed Order will be circulated in due course.
Consumption and Charges
The present stale of the economy is- perhaps _
indicated by the drop in the volume of water put into
supply in 1980 below the level of the previous year.
This is accounted for by a lessening in. supplies to^
industrial and other metered premises and is despite
an increase in quantities taken by consumers whose
supplies are not metered, in the main household .
supplies. The highest daily quantity of water
supplied in the Company’s history was on Sunday,
18th May, 1980, and amounted to 104-6 million
lias resulted in the deferment of a number of items,
both capital and maintenance. The exercise is made
more difficult both by the limited scope for reducing
standards in such-areas as quality, pressure and
continuity of water supplies and by the long term
rising demands of unmetered consumers -making
inevitable the development of capital schemes to
augment supplies.
Charges are having to be increased substantially
this April. The small increase in charges last year,
made possible by utilising some of the Company’s
reserves, turned out to be insufficient to meet rising
costs so this year the increase has to cover more than
one year’s inflation. In the five years to 1980, the
average amount charged per 1000 gallons supplied
by the Company has risen by 66 per cent; this
percentage may be compared with the rise in the
retail prices index over the same period of about
96 per cent.
Major Capital Projects
Construction of the 2.7 million gallon service
reservoir at Bowers Gifford, with associated
pipelines, which will improve supplies to Canvey
Island, is nearing completion. Contracts have been
let for constructing additional rapid filters at
■Hanningfield and these are expected to become
operational in 1982.
The extension, to the computer building at Head
Office now houses the twin ICL 2946 replacement
computers. Work has started on converting a
building adjacent to the Company’s Mid Essex
Divisional Office and depot at Chelmsford to. provide
much needed office and other facilities. Construction
of offices to rehouse the South Essex Divisional staff
at Romford has also commenced.
The present day costs of providing capital assets
are compared with the costs actoafly incurred in past
years in this year’s accounts. From these it can be
seen that while the gross historic cost of the
Company’s assets is around £61 million, their
current replacement cost would in fact be of the
order of £429 million.

By Philip Robinson
Eurof lam e Holdings, whose
plans to come to the unlisted
securities market were delayed
when the chairman mentioned
a profits forecast which was not
in the formal documents, is
ready to try again for a quote.
A revised prospectus was
lodged with the Stock Ex-
change's Quotations Committee
on Monday and it is expected
that a decision on whether to
allow Euroflame to market on
that prospectus is due later this
week.
Dealings in the 1.1 million
shares, placed at 30p to raise
£330,000, were due to srart on
February 25. But five days
earlier 'Mr John Viall, chair-
man, said at a press conference
that he would he disappointed
if profits this year were less
than £450,000.
The remark was published in
several newspapers and the
Stock Exchange demanded that
a formal forecast be included
in the prospectus. A spokesman
for Tring Hall Securities, the
issuing house which plans to
retain a 53 per cent stake in
Euroflame, said: “We are cur-
rently going through the Stock
Exchange procedures ”. .
Tbe delay in placing the
sbares, which has meant an
audit and a reprint of the pros-
pectuses, is thought to have
added £3,000 to the original
£60,000 cost.
consolidated sales rose to a
record 261,160m yen (£563m)
for the first quarter to January
31 from 221,960m yen a year
earlier.
Consolidated net income
remained high at 20,120m yen,
up from 19,530m a year earlier,
while earnings per depositary
share were 92 yen against 91
yen.
In tbe first quarter the value,
of the yen showed a sharp rise
from a year earlier, causing a
substantial reduction in the
book value of consolidated net
sales. This in turn made for a
corresponding rise in the cost
ratio.
International
The Sony board said zhar
negative factors were more than
offset by brisk sales of portable
stereo cassette players, the
Beta max and other video equip-
ment.
Another offsetting factor was
substantial translation gains
from convening financial state-
ments of Sony's overseas sub-
sidiaries into yen, and algo
currency exchange gains due to
forward contracts.
Bayemverein holds payout
Bayerische Vereinsbank has
announced an unchanged divi-
dend of 9 Deutsche marks (£1-9)
per 50-mark par value share for

360m marks in 1979.
Tbe bank said in Munich
yesterday that it is proposing
to raise the stock capital to

earned for the previous yeen^ Vryhtid Coronation became a
‘ wholly-owned member of the Group from the begvuimg of
the year with the result that them was a reduction in the
proportion of profit attributable to outside shareholders in
subsidiary companies.
Turnover of the Group rose by 2QB per cent to R46£^5
million aid operating profit increased to H13QB mfflion.^ The
Group's profit before taxation of R124>1 million was 16/1 per
cent above the 1979 pre-tax profit of R10$6 million.
The profit after taxation, of R85£ million was an
increase of^ 18,9 per cent over the R717 mUfiori of last year
and after deducting the pro fit at tri butable tooutsideshare-

COAL MINING ACTIVITIES
Turnover from the sales of end and coke increased by

profit of R1HV1 nSBon,an bicreassof »,6per cent over the
operating profit of R99£ nvWon achieved in the previous
yesThe tonnage of coal and edee sold during thB year in-
creased marginsdy by Q7 million tons to a total of 337
n^on tons. The average profit per ton sold increased by
8£ per cent as a result of an increase In coal sold on the ex?
part market and ofa higher profit earned fromthe coal sold
from Kriel colliery.
During T979 the Group’s coal mines man aged to con-
tain unit costs at a very commendable teret mainly due to
the contribution from the opencast operations at Kfem-
kopje and Kriel and by increased productivity However. .
during the period under review unit costs increased by 10,0
percent, which, although below the rate of increased the
Wholesale Price Index, is nevertheless of rreijor concern to
management and this aspect of operations must receive
even closer attention in 1981.
The South African cod mining industry contfnued to
expand its outputamf recorded production iri excess of114
miton tons fw 1980iThe m^or contributions to the rising
demand for coaT continued to be the increase in consump-
tion by Escom at their new power stations n the eastern
Transvaal, the further increase in export activity and the
coal requirements for the new Sasol installations.
Amcoal maintained Its position as the Republics
largest coal producer and contributed 30 percent of South
Africa's output in 1980.
The Group's net expenditure on coal mining assets at
R39 miffibn was below the R55 million spent during 1979,
and took place principally at KkankopjEv Kriel and Bank
coffieries.
Group coDiafes supplied 21^ mSEbn tons of coal to Escom
■ w 1980. This tonnage was m arginally lowsr than the 21.6
million tons supplied in T979.
NEW COLLIERIES
During the year, shareholders were informed that Escom
had exercised its option to obtain coal supplies from New
Denmarkfor an additional 1800 MWof generating capacity
at lirtuka power station. Accordingly, the colliery is now
befog developed to supply coal for a total of 3600 MW of
generating capacity which wBI require some 10 miffion tons
a yea - at full output, in addition, the planned commission-
ing date farthe first generating set the pcwver station has
been advanced from' September 1986 to March 7985.
Fa* the New Veal colliery, Escom kiioafly awarded
Amcoal a contract for a coal supply to 1800 MW of
generating capacity at the Lethabo power station, but has
since requested Amcoal to submit an extended offer to
cover the coal supply for an additional 1300 MW to allow
the station's capadty to be increased to 3600 MW. In
addition, Escom has advanced the planned commissioning
date for the first set at Lethabo from the latter part of the
1980s to September 1985. The reserves availab le to New
Vaal are more than adequate to supply cod for 3600 MW
and mine planning for the extended coffiery will be based
on the optimum utiffsation of the reserves in the coalfield.
EXPORT AND DOMESTIC TRADE
The Group’s export collieries continued to mafotain a high
level of production and railed a total of 7.8 million tons of
steam 'coal and low ash metallurgical coal to Richards Bay
during i960 of which &0 rnl&dn tons was sold through the
TCOA as pan of its total exports of 12,1 million tons. The
balance of 1.8 mailon tons rafled to R8CT was against the
Group's own export entitlement under Phase II of the
export programme.
Sales by theTCQA to tie domestic market, which have
declined In recent years; showeda modestincrease in 1980.
The reduction irtTCOA sales to Escom and the SAR was
offset by increased sales to the industrial sector. Due to the
increased activity of die building sector, the demand on
TCOA from the cement industry improved and theTCOA
was sble.to meet the demand for higher quality sized coal.
’■ As has been the case in the international market,
various domestic Industrial consumers are now converting
from ofl to coal. Although the rate of conversion is alow it
nevertheless will provide additional market c^pcstureties
for theTCOA in the future.
Within the Industry, major proposals are under con-
sideration by employe^ and it is hoped that these vsfll lead
to significantly improved relationships between tin em-
ployers and unions active in the fodustry
The shortage of skilled labour has become acufe and it
has been necessary for the Group to resort to overseas re-
cruitlng- The long-term solution to this problem must
however, fie in the increased training of South African
workers of all races. This is an imports ntindustrial relations
objective for the Group, in order to avoki the skills shortage
- becoming the Gmtting factor on existing and future
■ operations
The major feature of the annual wage increases im-
plemented by Am cod in tiiis year was the introduction of
overtime payments to blacks on the same basis as white
employees. An objective remains the nanowfog of the gap
which exists between minimum pay rates in the meting
industry and comparable jobs in heavy industry
RESERVES
The tempo of coal exploration undertaken by the Anglo
American Corporation Group's coal syndicate, in which
Amcoal is a participant, was considerably increased during
ihs year fo furtherance of the Group's strategy to foprove
its attifity to supply coal competitively on a wide geo-
graphical basis.
A revnsxxi of the Groups coal reserve estimates based
on present day and planned mining method* as opposed
to those uffiaed In the prepar ati on irf the Petrick Report of
1375, resulted in a significant increase fo the proven re-
serves available for exploitation. Reserves to which
Amcoal has access are new estimated & some 10 bVon
nm-of-mine tons.
During the year, coal rights to some 560 naBM tons
were purchased and options acquired over 60,000
hectares. Itis Effttkapated that rights toafurther 200 mBon
tons wffl be purchased during 1981.
ENERGY AND EXPORTS
Notwithstanding the reduction of oil suppEas from the
Middle East due to local conflicts there, the western world
is cunentfy adequately supplied with crude oi due to sig-
nificantly lower demands brought about by mid northern
hemisphere winters and the general recession in the
developed countries. Neverthelesa, the erratic nature of o3
supplies and ofl pricing in recent years has resulted in
utilities and industrial concerns utilising primary energy
recognising that their future growth should be based an
coal and, where possible; nuclear powee
Due to the environmental restrictions placed on
nuclear power, coal is presently the focus of new energy
programmes.Theseprogrammes wiU take lane to bring to
fruition but all the indications are for a steady 'and
substantial growth of coal as a primary energy source. In
addition, the past 12 mont h s have seen significant
conversions from o3 to coal, particularly in the cement
industry, together with maximum use of coaPSring in
preference fo oil-fired power stations. This has led fo an
increased demand for internationally traded steam coal.
Demand marginally exceeded supply and prices ftmed
further. This increased demand has Jed other exporting
countries to expand their production, the ability of the
United States to export more steam coal befog particularly
noticeable. The USA has considerable potential as a coal
exporter although the present inadequacies of railroad and
port infrastructures are Umrting tenors.
The Department of Energy and Mineral Affairs is
currently undertaking an updated study of coal reserves
and coal demand in order to review the total level of ex-
ports ultimately to be undertaken by the South African
coal mining industry. It is essential that any further export
authorities should be granted to those corporations, such
as Amcoal, which have the necessary coal reserves and
coal mining expertise to ensure that the Repub&cfc own
rapidly escalating domestic coal requirements are met in
the decades ahead.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
During the year Amcoal Jdined with AECI and Shefl to m-
vestigate the potential for private industry to manufacture
and self methanol on a competitive bask with imported
crude oil and Sasols oil from coal.
Amcoal, together with its partners will continue
actively to explore the possibility of the private sector
manufacturing transport fuels from coal and wiN maintain
close co-operation with The Government in the expectation
that this important project can ultimately be brought fo
development.
Amcoal's success in winning two of the three coal
supply contracts awarded by Escom and its participation fo
the Phase III export programme has required it to embark
on a major capital expenditure programme over the next
• several years. The expansion opportunities brought about
by this new business will result in coal output Increasing to
overSOmilkn tons a year and wHJ provide a sound basis for
substantial and sustained growth in the years ahead.
The currant year will see the coal mining division con-
centrate on the consolidation of its operating coUieriss with
particular attention being given to the containment of
working costs. The acquisition of Natal Anthracite has
broadened the Group's earnings base and forecasts
indicate ^ that profits for the current year from both foe coal
mining and refractories divisions will continue to show real
growth.
PRODUCTIVITY AND LABOUR
Sales from Group collieries totalled 33,7 million ton^ an
increase of 21 per cent over 1979. Productivity increased
by V per cant from 1257 tons per employee per month to
134,1 tons per employee per month and resulted from a re-
duction of 4,4 per cant in the average number of enployess
and the additional coal produced.

E iuldc 10 general market conditions and
v dependent upon location, quantity and
whether delivered or nol.
Discount-
market
The discount bouses needed only
small-scaJe help yesterday and the
signs were that calmer conditions
will persist to, allow an uneventful
mid-month make-up for the banks
today. Once the authorities bad
given their assistance, the situa-
tion eased— arid late balances were
being picked Up at rates within
a band of 11) to 12 per cent. The
Bank of England's help came via
ontright purchases of eligible bank
bills from the houses.
Foreign exchange report
The dollar extended its decline
bn foreign exchange markets
yesterday, although closing levels
were well off the bottom. - The
pound Qnislied with -a gain of 110
points -in terms of the dollar ar
52.2490, after reaching a " high "
on the dav of S2.26Q0.
.The “ effective ” exchange rate
index closed 0.4 up at ,99.9.
following 99-8 at midday and 99.6
at rhe opening.
Once again, interest rates were
the' key factor. With Eurodollars
easing further, and with more
major United States hanks lower-
ing their prime rates to 17 f per
cent, tbe dollar lost more ground
initially. But profit-caking devel-
oped later in a chin aqd nervous
market to life the dollar off the
borrom.
'German marks firmed from
2:0905 to 2.0967, Swiss francs
gained from 1.8990 to 1.8975 and
French francs hardened from
4.9315 to 4.9179.
The Japanese 'yen eased from
207.05 to 207.30 in dollar terms.
Japan's Discount Rate is down
one point to Gi per cent with
:.'l'ect from today.
Bolivia’s tin
demands
New and harder demands
from Bolivia called into
question yesterday whether one
of the world's leading tin pro-
ducers would join the sixth
Internationa) Tin Agreement
under discussion in Geneva..
Bolivia wants prices under an
agreement to be defended with
a buffer stock of only 30,000
tonnes instead of the 50,000
which has been widely accepted.
The possibility of prices be_-
ing depressed by stockpile
sales, especially from * the
United States’ General Services
Administration, worry Bolivia
as well. The country is the
highest cost-producer. •

. . 8 The pattern of Elaine Morgan's plays about Lloyd George —
onight’s is the third (BBC 2, 9.25) — is now set as firm as
- :on crete: the pendulum swings from philandering to politicizing
... uid back again. 1 think Miss Morgan is keeping a sensible balance
■ letween the two, but I have a sneaking feeling 1 am in a rapidly
T^Wndling minority. Tonight, neither the roving eye nor the
KjliticaJ dynamism is given much respite: a scandal threatens,
~7~-'Joyd George becomes president of the Board of Trade, be settles
• • he 1907 rail strike, is made Chancellor the Exchequer and lays the
oundation stone of our present social welfare system. All in 60
‘ ninutes flat.
> I am the last to complain that, on BBC 2, Wednesday night has
-ecome biographical night: there's not much quality fiction
. round these days. Part four of the Muggeridge life story (BBC 2,
.05) sees the end of the sage's marking time and his brisk entry ■
nto fulfilling journalism: the posting to Washington as the Daily
'elegraph correspondent, his subsequent promotion to the
7* iews paper’s deputy editorship, his appointment as editor of Punch
ad, stemming from that, his work as interviewer on Panorama.
II must draw your attention to two exciting programmes about
mating tonight: Sir Hugh Cass on pointing out those features that
lo not immediately meet the eye in Turner's The Burning of the
louses of Parliament (One Hundred Great Paintings, BBC 2, 7.25),
ad the Yorkshire landscape painter Ashley Jackson's quest for
is roots in the second of Barry Cockcroft's new series Once in a
if e time (ITV, 9.00). Why exciting? Because in both f ilm*
lementai forces of great power are unleashed when brush
niches canvas.
